Respect for the Past: Smart Makeover Revitalizes Heritage Home in London



The sight of old terrace houses in London clad in brick take you back in time and bring back the images of a more simpler era that the world seems to have sped past. Nestled in the unique and iconic neighborhood of Roupell Street Conservation area in central London, the Lambeth Marsh House is one such timeless treasure that was left unoccupied for over 10 years now. Reviving and refurbishing this beautiful English home with modernity even while leaving its rich heritage undisturbed, Fraher Architects did a splendid job of combing the past with the present in an effortless and sensible fashion.Some of the original features of the building like the façade, wood paneling on the walls and skirting was carefully preserved, restore and given a new lease of life while the floor plan of both the lower living level and the top bedroom level were considerably altered. An engaging and non-intrusive rear and side extension in steel frame and glass extend the living area and create space for outdoor dining and living. The glass structure also brings natural light into the refurbished home with a neutral color scheme and re-upholstered décor adding to this cheerful ambiance.RELATED: Cheerful Modern Makeover Transforms Victorian House in LondonRELATED: Semi-Detached London Terrace House Gets a Bright Modern ExtensionThe new open plan living area flows into the cool dining space that overlooks the deck outside with the small kitchen in white sitting next to it.
