Sash House

Full redesign and extension of a terraced house on Rawlings Street in Chelsea. Our Client wished to open up the living spaces of the house and connect the house to the rear garden. We reconfigured the stairs to the house, which was taking up a lot of the rear floor space, and created an interconnected double-height dining space that opens directly onto the garden. The most striking feature of this house is the large 6m high sash window, which we believe to be one of the largest in the UK. This sash window allows for a seamless connection with the rear courtyard garden.

Double-height dining space connecting directly to the rear courtyard via a giant sash window. The dining space also enjoys a visual connection with the reception room above via the open balcony space.

The master bedroom bedhead is created from a strong dark timber cladding with integrated lighting and feature backlit shelving. We used full-height curtains and shear blinds to provide privacy onto the street.

The master ensuite uses a combination of timber panelling on the walls and stone tiling to create a warm, natural space.
