An early Victorian terraced house in Knightsbridge, it was in dire need of modernisation and refurbishment for the professional couple who commissioned us. It was a potentially pretty house but rather dark at the back.

The architects, Haines Phillips, opened up the back which created much space and daylight and we put in a light-filled basement, which doesn’t feel like a basement at all! Whilst retaining the period detailing, the house is now much brighter and more welcoming whatever the weather outside!
