"This semi-detached Victorian property was completely reimagined by the Zulufish team. We extended the loft and ground floor, added a new basement and reorientated the property to create a double-height atrium above the front door, thus creating a real statement entrance to this stunning family home.
The owners wanted to create a feeling of space and light, and a generous welcoming area for guests, something Victorian properties can lack. By combining the double-height entrance with a hallway in the centre of the property, we created a natural flow between the crittal doors to the front living room and the kitchen/family room to the rear, linking the spaces and creating a line of sight from the front room right through to the garden. Our design team added character with encaustic b&w graphic floor tiles.
Planning constraints meant we had to work with restricted height to the boundary for the ground floor extension. We dug down to create extra ceiling height, locating the kitchen under the new extension and disguised the restricted height internally with a polished plaster wall above the kitchen units.
The bespoke kitchen by HUX London features cabinets in a mix of wood veneer and Squid Ink by Paint & Paper Library, with aged brass finger pulls and stunning Dekton worktops. A display dresser and large format Domus floor tiles complete the look.
The living room is given a lovely cosy feel by the limewash paint and the copper tones of the TV wall, expertly designed and manufactured by HUX London. Stylish additions such as the Roche Bobois sofa, a custom-made bespoke tribal stool and a glass coffee table with aged brass and brown vellum finish the scheme.
By creating the double-height void over the front door, we sacrificed a box room to the front. The design brief was for the master suite and children’s rooms to be located on the first floor, so we designed the master suite to the rear overlooking the garden.
In here we added a bespoke HUX bed with floating bedside tables and created a feature wall with a beautiful textured wall covering. The ensuite is light and super luxe with faux concrete tiles and a double vanity by Scavolini Tratto with melamine worktop in Concrete Jersey.
The removal of the eaves to create extra tall ceilings meant the kid's bedrooms were given additional character and much-needed clever storage. A playful dinosaur wallpaper added further personality. The ensuite features hexagonal relief tiles."
