Jason Good has completed a private house that replaces a poorly constructed 1980s cottage within the confines of a walled site. From the street, the architectural form reflects a somewhat classical approach, with a defined base, middle, and top that steps down to a single storey, allowing more light and air to reach the rear of the site.
Cosmo’s House, designed by MW Architects, exemplifies how close collaboration among architects, clients, and contractors can create a vibrant living environment. Indeed, this four-story detached home on the edge of Epping Forest now boasts an abundance of color, light, and playful detailing.
Discover the impressive Elgin Avenue House by MW Architects, a light-filled family home nestled within a secluded sunken garden in Maida Vale.

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. To achieve this, they replaced an old conservatory with a modern ground floor extension that spans the entire width of the property.
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.
Beaconsfield House, designed by John Pardey Architects, stands shoulder-to-shoulder with a row of suburban neighbors that lean toward a certain mass-produced historicism—sometimes affectionately, sometimes derisively, termed “Tescobethan.”
