This stunning renovation project in southwest London showcases the power of thoughtful design in connecting spaces and transforming a home. The project, led by COX ARCHITECTS, involved creating a beautiful helical staircase to link the upper and lower ground floors of a large semi-detached Victorian Villa, maximizing the potential of the property’s 570m² site.

The clients, Rachel, Heston, and their three teenage kids, had previously worked with the same architect and builder on a successful remodel, and this existing relationship proved invaluable in tackling the challenges of this project. The brief was to create a more functional and enjoyable living space, addressing the undersized kitchen and living areas and leveraging the beautiful south-facing back garden.
The solution lay in designing a striking helical staircase to connect the upper and lower ground floors directly, creating a seamless transition between the enlarged kitchen and the main family living space below. This sculptural element not only resolves the functional issue but also brings joy to the everyday act of passage, as noted by the architects.
The project’s success was made possible by the collaboration of a talented team, including Structural Engineer Jonathan Darnell, Main Contractor Elson Properties London, and specialist contractors such as L2i for glazing and DDC London Ltd for the bespoke staircase. The result is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and careful planning.
