Projects & Case Studies
A selection of recent projects completed across NW London. Each case study shows the challenge, our approach, and the results delivered.
Victorian Loft Conversion, Belsize Park
→A complete mansard loft conversion on a three-storey Victorian terraced house in Belsize Park Conservation Area. The project added a principal bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, increasing the property's living space by 38m² and its market value by an estimated £180,000.
Full Victorian Terrace Refurbishment, West Hampstead
→A complete gut-and-rebuild refurbishment of a neglected four-bedroom Victorian terraced house in West Hampstead. The property had not been significantly updated since the 1970s. The project included structural works, full rewiring, replumbing, new kitchen and three bathrooms, insulation throughout, and complete redecoration. Completed in 18 weeks.
Kitchen Extension & Open-Plan Living, Hampstead
→A rear single-storey extension combined with internal structural wall removal to create a large open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space for a semi-detached Edwardian house in Hampstead.

Period Bathroom Restoration, St John's Wood
→A sympathetic restoration of the principal bathroom in a Grade II listed stucco villa in St John's Wood. The brief was to restore rather than modernise — retaining the period character while introducing modern plumbing and effective ventilation. The result combines a roll-top bath, period-style sanitaryware, hand-painted encaustic tiles, and tastefully concealed modern systems.
Garden Studio & Landscaping, Frognal
→Construction of a timber-clad garden studio for use as a home office and occasional guest suite, combined with a full garden redesign including natural stone terrace, raised beds, and lawn restoration. The studio sits in the garden of a Victorian villa in Frognal Conservation Area.
