AJ Retrofit Awards 2014 – Best House Under £300k

The existing two storey apartment atop a late-90’s residential block in Covent Garden was poorly laid out and quite dark internally. This project involved a strip out and reconfiguration, allowing more light into the property via a large rooflight (and also a glass floor to the kitchen allowing light into the dark entry hall below), coupled with a very large frameless window that overlooked the backs of the surrounding buildings.

The new bi-fold doors on facing the courtyard on both floors provided a direct connection to the outdoors when open. Basalt floor tiling throughout provided a beautiful contrast against the textured walnut joinery.

Cantilevered glass stair treads and handrail connect the two floors and allows light into the darkest parts of the property.
