Granit Architects + InteriorsWe helped our clients to create a practical, modern and beautiful family home in Putney, South West London.
The Brief
The brief from our clients was to amalgamate an annex and original house building to create one practical family home. It was important the annex did not feel like an add-on, but rather as part of the original property.
The Solution
The design solution is to feature a series of new openings between the two buildings to provide subtle connections and routes between spaces throughout the house.
The whole footprint was utilised and spaces were carefully arranged to maximise light and provide a more functional family home. Glass doors with steel frames were used in the hallway to open up sight-lines to the large rear garden and provide flexibility to the use of the space.
The dining room features a hidden door into a secret lounge space that plays on the idea of there previously being a sense of separation. The Kitchen was made bespoke by Higham Furniture, a supplier we have worked with many times before and who are in our supplier directory.
All the original external walls and ground floor construction have been insulated to exceed building regulation standards, creating a highly sustainable building. This is great for our clients carbon footprint and for keeping their running costs low.
Externally, corner glazed full height sliding doors were added to provide a seamless transition between the lounge and garden. At roof level, a series of dormers were added to the master suite that help draw breathtaking views towards the London skyline.
The rear garden was landscaped by Patios, Pots and Pergolas.
The Result
We are delighted with the outcome, which is a sustainable and functional single family home that responds well to our clients brief.
MD SeamlessThis is half-round gutter. This is a beautiful style available with either internal hangers or external hanger hangers as shown in the photo. This gutter looks great on every home! It is a more expensive product and it usually suffers from over'splash due to the curve of the gutter.
MMM Interiors Spectacular views provided a spectacular opportunity.
We often come across a "gem" like this with amazing views, which sadly were not well utilised in the original design of this kitchen; they were only visible from the external verandas but not from inside the kitchen!!
A small extension under the existing roofline allowed this beautiful kitchen to stretch out much further, allowing for openings to the kitchen itself that allowed the owners to appreciate these breathtaking views.
An extension of an external cantilevered deck was totally the icing on the cake. Seeing beyond the box, being inspired from outside in, and the surrounding spaces give our experienced designers the scope to create these stunning, functional family spaces that provide the "lifestyle" that adds value to our daily living as well as value to the property.

Building Designers Association of AustraliaThe warm texture of a rammed earth anchors this light-filled home. Cocooning living areas and lining the entry, providing thermal mass, aesthetics and regulating humidity. The rammed earth is a spine, leading visitors from the double-height entry to a warm, bright living area. Living areas and kids' bedrooms are warmed by winter sun, looking north. Recycled timber pergola and portico continue the theme externally. A careful plan and high-performance thermal envelope create an energy efficient home with 8.3 EER. Solar-powered hydronic slab heating and winter sunshine keep the house warm in winter. Thermally massive concrete floors + rammed earth walls keep cool in summer, protected by highly-insulated external walls. The double-height entry acts as thermal chimney, venting warm air as it rises from living areas. Triple-glazed composite windows complete the energy efficient design. Modern materials + colours plus recycled red brick combine contemporary Canberran architecture and style.

CoArtCoPresented house was purchased by the current owners a few years ago. The state was acquired from previous owners house was deplorable, with no respect for the history of the house. Meanwhile it has worked to strengthen them and to the construction of a terrace in the attic. They have changed all the finishes, so they meet current standards. However, the owners have wanted to be a classic façade of the house as it was built from the beginning. We congratulate for this choice and we encourage all homeowners to do the same old.

Garton Group ArchitectureBlurring the boundaries between internal and external Casa Pabellón uses a unique plan that brings the external environment inside and directs the inhabitants to secluded nature filled spaces. When fully opened the house allows it’s family to live and work nearly completely outdoors. When privacy, the elements or security require it, the house can be completely closed down. The plan and lightweight pavilion structure allows for a fast and modular construction with off site prefabrication reducing environmental impact and waste. Open air circulation routes through the property reinforce the connection to the surrounding South Pacific jungles that cover the hills in this quiet corner of Costa Rica. It has been our pleasure to work alongside our clients to create for them their dream home and lifestyle in this project and we look forward to guiding the design through the construction phase.
Innovative Modern DesignOutdoor kitchen from our externAL series in Violet, a custom purple. This one is what our client, a professional chef, describes as "mega full". It has it all: double burner, sink, Neolith tops, plus it's on wheels and when you spin it away from the wall the back panels lift to become a serving bar! Very versatile, this one ticks off all the boxes.
