In the Step Down house designed by Bijl Architecture, the original 1910 front rooms and architectural details of timber fretwork, cedar shingles and stained glass have been revived, while a poorly built 1970s lean-to rear addition was removed. Our design strategy brought the new addition right down to the rear garden level, creating the opportunity for an airy pavilion of wide openings, high ceilings and flexible space.

Sag Harbor 2 is a project designed by Kevin O’Sullivan + Associates – KOSA.

Bishop’s Stortford is a project designed by Nicola Chambers – Architect. The plot was a tight town centre site in Bishop’s Stortford that originally formed part of the neighbour’s back garden. The site, which slopes in two directions, was accessed through a narrow private access drive which already served three houses. This meant that access for the neighbours would have to be maintained at all times, while at the same time providing all necessary site access down a single track drive. Photography by Owen Davies.

The Grant Park House by ARCHITECTUREFIRM began with a classic Atlanta craftsman style bungalow in the historic Grant Park neighborhood that was in need of significant repair. The extensive renovation to the roof that was required allowed for a complete reconceiving of the home in plan and section, creating a new sky-lit single volume and wide open living spaces with a lofted floor above the more intimate bed and bath rooms. Photography by Garey Gomez.

Wandsworth Cottage is a project designed by Patalab Architecture. Built in the late 19th century as part of a large new estate in South London, Wandsworth Cottage is a small Victorian terrace house originally built as a modest workers’ cottage. The house was in a tired state and there were structural issues that needed to be addressed, justifying the opportunity to fundamentally rearrange the layout. The 4-meter width of the cottage was the largest constraint and the existing stair position resulted in an unusable skinny second bedroom on the upper floor. This was overcome by designing a reconfigured triple height stairwell – our main architectural intervention. This has gained generosity on both floors and brings natural light into the centre of the house – a vital enhancement especially with the additional 2-storey rear extension.

Miroir-interiors was mandated to design and supervise the execution of a ground floor unit, located in “Almaza bay”, a prestigious compound on the egyptian north coast. Our design was inspired by the grace of white sands and crystal clear water. The neatness of straight lines and geometrical shapes were the core of the design. While using neutral colors, mostly white to emphasize the shade and shadow effects. Photography by Nour El-Refai

Seascape is a project designed by Atlas Architects. Situated in the coastal town of Balnarring, this family home embodies the environment and lifestyle of the Mornington Peninsula. Blending in with its bushy site, the structure’s corrugated iron and timber cladding reference the Australian coastal vernacular. Environmental sustainability is addressed through large north-facing openings and reverse brick veneer construction. Generous front and rear gardens provide room for diverse activities. A central courtyard completes a hierarchy of outdoor spaces, connecting interior functions with the external environment. Photography by Tess Kelly.
