Matthew Giles Architects used white oak joinery and different floor levels to break up the open-plan ground floor of this redesigned and upgraded six-bedroom house in Wandsworth, London.
The Victorian terraced house belongs to a young family that wanted to create a home that was more suited to entertaining and having relatives stay over.
A small rear extension was added
Originally a four-bedroom house, London practice Matthew Giles Architects was asked by the owners to add two bedrooms and a basement for services and storage.
The family wanted to enhance the connection between inside and outside, as well as improve the light flow and visual connections throughout the house.

Goal: Stop tree poaching in protected forests and enforce stiffer fines for poachers.
In a few short months, over 100 trees have been illegally cut from a protected forest reserve in British Columbia, Canada. Most of the trees are Douglas Fir and Western red cedar which are nearly a century old and are considered an endangered part of the coastal ecosystem. Officials believe this atrocious environmental pillaging is the result of high lumber prices. While criminals who are caught poaching trees from Crown land can receive $1 million dollars in fines, most penalties are under $200.
This area has been logged in the past, but logging operations have been temporarily stopped as environmental groups work with the government and First Nations in an attempt to protect these precious trees in the future. Daily patrols have been started, but it is difficult for locals to cover the more than 12,000 acres of forest.
