Renovation and reorganisation of a 19th century Kensington Mews house. Working in a tight site with a small footprint, the internal volume of the house was rearranged to maximize floor area and natural light. Through a tactical rearrangment of floor levels, a basement storey was inserted which also enjoys street frontage and external views. Careful room organisation and material choice, such as limed oak flooring and glass handrails, have given the mews house a new sense of space and brightness.
