Queens Park House

The challenging geometries of this 1990s property presented tight, angular room configurations that worked against natural light, spatial flow and connection to the garden. The brief was to resolve all three.

Remediation works across the house, grounds and pool included redesigned bathrooms, new ceilings and lighting, bespoke joinery and replaced floors throughout. The most significant intervention was the expansion of the living and dining room wall towards the garden — removing two low bi-fold door assemblies and replacing them with a single, minimally detailed and seamlessly engineered sliding door. The effect was immediate: the living areas connected directly with the garden and pool, and light flooded in.

No additional square metres were added. The result, nonetheless, is a home that feels transformed.
