Discover the remarkable transformation of The White House by MW Architects, perched atop Highgate Hill in London. This charming 18th-century residence overlooks the entrance to Waterlow Park and offers stunning views of the city beyond.

Adam Knibb Architects took on the challenge of extending and refurbishing Trevally House, a beloved period dwelling. Their goal was to create a unique, contemporary addition without losing the home’s existing charm.

Located at 12 Calais Street in Southwark, within the Minet Estate Conservation Area of the London Borough of Lambeth, the Calais Street House by Paolo Cossu Architects beautifully merges Victorian charm with contemporary design. Overlooking the picturesque Myatt’s Fields Park, this three-storey Victorian terraced house has been thoughtfully extended to create a harmonious and stylish home.
Originally, the home was a 1960s detached house in Crystal Palace, situated at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac. It stood among mature trees and close neighbors. Although the family needed more space as they grew, the existing house was narrow, had low ceilings, and felt cramped. It also lacked a true connection to the outdoors.
From the street, House of the Elements seems like a typical late-19th-century London terrace. Yet behind its traditional Victorian facade lies a transformed interior that feels more like a calming sanctuary than a city home. Designed by Neil Dusheiko Architects for a young professional couple, this project embraces a spa-like atmosphere, open space, and close connections to nature.
