Built

Margaret M. DeLange

Modern extensions in rich yet minimal materials, and a bold colour scheme that enhances the original Victorian features, make this full transformation of a derelict North London Terrace unique.

Featured in Don't Move, Improve! 2021

Punching holes in the narrow and dark original building allows light to fill the previously dark spaces, and utilising the height of the rooms and carefully designing bespoke joinery, makes the home both fun and spacious. The colours and interior create a retreat from the outside world and offer moments of repose, relaxation and rejuvenation, all hidden behind a humble historic Highgate facade.
