I love a renovation, especially the London ones, as I’m always on the lookout for new ideas that I may incorporate into my dream home one day – maybe even the one I’m living in now, I haven’t decided yet.

This North London renovation of a townhouse including landscaping by architects Peter Merrett and Robert Houmøller is extraordinary. Clearly the clients had a healthy budget but I love how the simple ‘chevron’ shape taken from the original parquet flooring has served as a blueprint and theme throughout the house and into the garden.

The 45 degree angle can be seen everywhere once you’re aware of it. Just look at the roof structure of the dining room extension and the brass inlays between the polished concrete slabs on the lower ground floor. It even shows up on the dark tiled cladding of the rear extension and the angled path leading down to a semi-sunken artists studio.

Opening up the floorplan to connect the street level and the lower garden basement level lets light penetrate deep into the house increasing the feeling of space. It must be wonderful coming downstairs in the morning and getting the first glimpses of the garden from the top of the stairs.

I have to say I also absolutely adore the bespoke brass-clad kitchen island including the handle-less drawers. A refreshing change from all that stainless steel we’ve been seeing for the past decades. Brass is another recurring theme, seen in the light fittings, taps and door handles.

Limiting your material and colour palette is a great way to bring the old and new parts of the house together and if you can incorporate it in the garden you cannot fail but achieve most people’s holy grail – and I include myself here: the inside/outside look.

If you like this renovation check out other dream homes like this loft in Vienna or this home in Sydney.
