The renovation of this ground-floor flat in Brixton saw the transformation of the layout, with the addition of an extra bedroom and the creation of a tranquil internal courtyard. The design blends modern eccentricity with traditional touches, creating a unique character throughout the home.
The courtyard, lined with a mix of vibrant greenery and contrasting materials, acts as a focal point for natural light, bringing a sense of openness to the heart of the property. Large sliding glass doors connect the courtyard to the living spaces, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor environments.
Inside, a bold yet cosy aesthetic emerges. The combination of rich colours, tactile fabrics, and wooden accents creates a space that is both intimate and full of personality. The kitchen features sleek modern finishes, while the living room retains a classic charm with original features and contemporary furnishings.
This renovation dramatically enhanced the flat’s functionality, offering a spacious yet welcoming atmosphere perfect for family living, while maintaining the vibrant energy of its urban setting.
