MW Architects have created a light filled family home within a secluded sunken garden in Maida Vale. The property was previously dark and poorly arranged, a common issue with many Lower Ground Floor properties in the area. The clients wanted to rearrange their flat to allow the family to grow and enjoy the location whilst also creating stronger connections with the garden. Photography by French & Tye.

In this renovation project designed by Le Borgne Rizk Architecture, a large family wanted to reinvent their daily way of life by seeking to maximize the use of previously neglected outdoor spaces. Their main aspiration was to better integrate nature into their daily lives, through architecture that allowed for a fluid link between indoors and outdoors. This desire to open up their home to nature, while retaining the comfort and functionality necessary for family life, guided every architectural decision. Photography by Maxime Brouillet.

The result is a home that honours its mid-century spirit while embracing a new era of considered, contemporary living. Photography by Fiona Susanto.

ENSO HOUSE is a project designed by S+PS Architects. “A lot was happening in 2020 when we were appointed to design a penthouse on the 50th and 51st floor, with a terrace and pool on the 52nd floor. There was a need to feel a sense of freedom in an otherwise restrictive situation that the world had come to during COVID-19. One wanted to sense the free air and the ground simultaneously. Having a private pool with a terrace with the open sky above was a boon, but one missed the tree tops, but luckily the borrowed landscape of the Aarey Colony helped soothe the eyes. The clients came with memories from their long stay of 15 years in Chicago but there was also the palpable excitement of getting their bespoke home “custom” designed for the first time. How does one begin to pull together all these disparate thoughts and feelings into crafting a new home?” Photography by PHXINDIA.
