01 — The Brief
A terrace home, completely reimagined.
Albert Road is the full renovation and extension of a terrace home in Bromley. The brief was ambitious: take an ordinary London terrace and redesign it — inside and out — to become a luxury statement home, without losing the qualities that make a terrace house work.
The design gives the house a new identity: white-painted brick and vertical timber cladding under a slate roof, a timber-clad entrance bay to the street, and a generous garden-room extension to the rear with a terrace above. Every element — plan, fabric, joinery, landscape — is being redesigned as one piece.
Four moves, one statement.
The transformation runs from the street front to the back fence. Four moves carry it.
A New Identity
White-painted brick and vertical timber cladding re-dress the existing house — a calm, confident face to the street that still reads as part of its terrace.
The Garden Room
A timber-framed rear extension opens the house to the garden through full-width sliding glass — with a terrace above, wrapped by a glazed balustrade.
Opening the Plan
Inside, the terrace plan is reorganised into a continuous kitchen, dining and living sequence — with a new slatted-timber stair at its heart.
Craft & Materials
Dark oak joinery, stone floors, honed stone worktops and a restrained palette throughout — the interior designed with the same care as the architecture.
03 — Interior Architecture
Designed from the inside out.
The interior is being developed in parallel with the building — kitchen, joinery, stair and finishes designed within the practice as a coherent whole rather than added afterwards.
The palette is calm and grounded: dark oak cabinetry, stone floors that run out to the garden terrace, and daylight drawn deep into the plan through the new rear glazing and stairwell.
