Twin Peaks House is a vibrant extension to a grand Edwardian homestead in Kensington. Originally built in 1913 for a wealthy family of butchers, when the surrounding landscape was pasture from horizon to horizon, the homestead endured as its acreage was carved up and subdivided into smaller terrace allotments. Our clients discovered the property decades ago during long walks around their neighbourhood, promising themselves that they would buy it should the opportunity ever arise. Many years later the opportunity did arise, and our clients made the leap. Not long after, they commissioned us to update the home for their family of five. They asked us to replace the pokey rear end of the house, shabbily renovated in the 1980s, with a generous extension that matched the scale of the original home and its voluminous garden. Our design intervention extends the massing of the original gable-roofed house towards the back garden, accommodating kids’ bedrooms, living areas downstairs and main bedroom suite tucked away upstairs gabled volume to the east earns the project its name, duplicating the main roof pitch at a smaller scale and housing dining, kitchen, laundry and informal entry. This arrangement of rooms supports our clients’ busy lifestyles with zones of communal and individual living, places to be together and places to be alone. The living area pivots around the kitchen island, positioned carefully to entice our clients' energetic teenaged boys with the aroma of cooking. A sculpted deck runs the length of the garden elevation, facing swimming pool, borrowed landscape and the sun. A first-floor hideout attached to the main bedroom floats above, vertical screening providing prospect and refuge. Neither quite indoors nor out, these spaces act as threshold between both, protected from the rain and flexibly dimensioned for either entertaining or retreat. Galvanised steel continuously wraps the exterior of the extension, distilling the decorative heritage of the original’s walls, roofs and gables into two cohesive volumes. The masculinity in this form-making is balanced by a light-filled, feminine interior. Its material palette of pale timbers and pastel shades are set against a textured white backdrop, with 2400mm high datum adding a human scale to the raked ceilings. Celebrating the tension between these design moves is a dramatic, top-lit 7m high void that slices through the centre of the house. Another type of threshold, the void bridges the old and the new, the private and the public, the formal and the informal. It acts as a clear spatial marker for each of these transitions and a living relic of the home’s long history.

Small modern apartments benefit from a less is more design approach. To maximize space in this living room we used a rug with optical widening properties and wrapped a gallery wall around the seating area. Ottomans give extra seating when armchairs are too big for the space.

Le projet : D’anciennes chambres de services sous les toits réunies en appartement locatif vont connaître une troisième vie avec une ultime transformation en pied-à-terre parisien haut de gamme. Notre solution : Nous avons commencé par ouvrir l’ancienne cloison entre le salon et la cuisine afin de bénéficier d’une belle pièce à vivre donnant sur les toits avec ses 3 fenêtres. Un îlot central en marbre blanc intègre une table de cuisson avec hotte intégrée. Nous le prolongeons par une table en noyer massif accueillant 6 personnes. L’équipe imagine une cuisine tout en linéaire noire mat avec poignées et robinetterie laiton. Le noir sera le fil conducteur du projet par petites touches, sur les boiseries notamment. Sur le mur faisant face à la cuisine, nous agençons une bibliothèque sur mesure peinte en bleu grisé avec TV murale et un joli décor en papier-peint en fond de mur. Les anciens radiateurs sont habillés de cache radiateurs menuisés qui servent d’assises supplémentaires au salon, en complément d’un grand canapé convertible très confortable, jaune moutarde. Nous intégrons la climatisation à ce projet et la dissimulons dans les faux plafonds. Une porte vitrée en métal noir vient isoler l’espace nuit de l’espace à vivre et ferme le long couloir desservant les deux chambres. Ce couloir est entièrement décoré avec un papier graphique bleu grisé, posé au dessus d’une moulure noire qui démarre depuis l’entrée, traverse le salon et se poursuit jusqu’à la salle de bains. Nous repensons intégralement la chambre parentale afin de l’agrandir. Comment ? En supprimant l’ancienne salle de bains qui empiétait sur la moitié de la pièce. Ainsi, la chambre bénéficie d’un grand espace avec dressing ainsi que d’un espace bureau et d’un lit king size, comme à l’hôtel. Un superbe papier-peint texturé et abstrait habille le mur en tête de lit avec des luminaires design. Des rideaux occultants sur mesure permettent d’obscurcir la pièce, car les fenêtres sous toits ne bénéficient pas de volets. Nous avons également agrandie la deuxième chambrée supprimant un ancien placard accessible depuis le couloir. Nous le remplaçons par un ensemble menuisé sur mesure qui permet d’intégrer dressing, rangements fermés et un espace bureau en niche ouverte. Toute la chambre est peinte dans un joli bleu profond. La salle de bains d’origine étant supprimée, le nouveau projet intègre une salle de douche sur une partie du couloir et de la chambre parentale, à l’emplacement des anciens WC placés à l’extrémité de l’appartement. Un carrelage chic en marbre blanc recouvre sol et murs pour donner un maximum de clarté à la pièce, en contraste avec le meuble vasque, radiateur et robinetteries en noir mat. Une grande douche à l’italienne vient se substituer à l’ancienne baignoire. Des placards sur mesure discrets dissimulent lave-linge, sèche-linge et autres accessoires de toilette. Le style : Elégance, chic, confort et sobriété sont les grandes lignes directrices de cet appartement qui joue avec les codes du luxe… en toute simplicité. Ce qui fait de ce lieu, en définitive, un appartement très cosy. Chaque détail est étudié jusqu’aux poignées de portes en laiton qui contrastent avec les boiseries noires, que l’on retrouve en fil conducteur sur tout le projet, des plinthes aux portes. Le mobilier en noyer ajoute une touche de chaleur. Un grand canapé jaune moutarde s’accorde parfaitement au noir et aux bleus gris présents sur la bibliothèque, les parties basses des murs et dans le couloir.

The 1,750-square foot Manhattan Beach bungalow is home to two humans and three dogs. Originally built in 1929, the bungalow had undergone various renovations that convoluted its original Moorish style. We gutted the home and completely updated both the interior and exterior. We opened the floor plan, rebuilt the ceiling with reclaimed hand-hewn oak beams and created hand-troweled plaster walls that mimicked the construction and look of the original walls. We also rebuilt the living room fireplace by hand, brick-by-brick, and replaced the generic roof tiles with antique handmade clay tiles. We returned much of this 3-bed, 2-bath home to a more authentic aesthetic, while adding modern touches of luxury, like radiant-heated floors, bi-fold doors that open from the kitchen/dining area to a large deck, and a custom steam shower, with Moroccan-inspired tile and an antique mirror. The end result is evocative luxury in a compact space.
