Arlington House

Full Refurbishment with garage conversion and rear extension

LONDON, ISLINGTON N1

Discover the exquisite transformation of this double-fronted Victorian house in Arlington Conservation Area, where we seamlessly blend its historic charm with contemporary living. Our clients envisioned making the beautiful rear garden a vibrant and integral part of the home’s living space. This garden can now be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas, creating a harmonious connection between the indoors and the natural beauty outside.

The existing staircase, which previously stood at the back and blocked the view of the garden, has been relocated to the front of the house. By excavating space beneath the former garage, we have not only created a new visual connection through the sliding doors onto the garden, but also enhanced the overall flow and functionality of the home.

The once-unused narrow garage has been cleverly reimagined into warm traditional living with an inviting open-plan kitchen and dining area. Below the floorboards lies a hidden gem—a captivating underground spiral cellar crafted from engineered limestone concrete, adding a touch of mystery and sophistication.
