Refurbishment and ground floor extension - Islington, North London,
Arlington Avenue is a sensitive transformation of a Grade II listed townhouse in Islington. The clients wanted to improve the flow and function of their home without compromising its historic character.
The project involved removing a poorly placed conservatory, designing a modest ground floor extension, and reconfiguring key living spaces to enhance daylight and circulation. We paid close attention to heritage details, maintaining period features and selecting materials that complement the existing fabric.
The result is a home that feels both respectful and refreshed, bringing contemporary comfort into a historic setting with subtle, thoughtful design.
Working within a listed building is always a balancing act. Arlington Avenue was an opportunity to blend tradition and modernity, respecting history while responding to today’s way of living.
“Our architects have created a simple and comfortable extension which has transformed the house… We are very happy with the results.”
