Nestled on the bustling market street of Portobello Road in central London, our family townhouse project began as a home in disrepair. When first approached by our clients, the property featured an unsafe spiral staircase, a bold blue-and-pink colour scheme throughout, and open-plan living on every floor. Our challenge was to transform it into a home that could grow and evolve with the family through every stage of life. Drawing inspiration from the character of the local neighbourhood, we sought to weave in subtle moments of discovery—like finding a hidden gem on Portobello Road—while ensuring the house remained a serene oasis, offering calm and comfort after a busy day at work or school.
