A Victorian terrace in Old Town Clapham

NU Projects was the design and build contractor. The job was renovating a Victorian terrace in Old Town Clapham. The brief was to turn a dark, compact house into a bright modern one. The design process involved a thorough initial feasibility study. It emphasised fluidity and multi-functional use of space. This catered to the client’s lifestyle. That lifestyle included both entertaining and personal retreats.

Our architectural and interior design teams worked with the client. They set the scheme against their preference for something minimal and modern. Regular meetings on site meant the design developed alongside what was actually being built. That is how a drawing stops being a drawing. The central staircase was designed by the project’s design team. It was then made on site by our own tradespeople. That is why it fits the opening exactly.

Material selection carried a lot of the result. The materials were chosen for how they look and how they were sourced. For how we run a project like this, read our 12-stage process. You can also see the completed work in the project portfolio.
