Torriano Avenue, Kentish Town

Tobias completed the refurbishment of his own flat prior to setting up the practice. His aim was to turn a single amorphous and dingy space (which no-one else wanted!) into a practical and well articulated set of spaces. This necessitated stripping back the property to its shell, completely reorganising the layout, including moving the bathroom and positioning a secret walk-in wardrobe under the public footpath, and maximising the light by re-opening the lightwell to the street and introducing a generous patio door to the rear. The use of a simple palette of warm materials brought a sense of unity and calm to the space.
