Birch House
Creative and innovative reuse of space and storage in a north London flat
The key to this design was removing the old stairs which blocked light and movement, replacing them with three smaller stairs to create more room for the entrance and circulation. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom were altered to create two bedrooms, each with their own little staircase. Innovative places were found for storage, such as drawers in the stairs, holes between joists, bespoke joinery and hidden floors.
“I have been thinking about my dream home for seven years, in one week Peter has come up with a solution that is perfect for us, but we could never have imagined on our own”
