A house of light
Private Residence in Islington
We have been appointed to submit a pre-planning application for the potential refurbishment and extension at a 2 bedroomed residence in the Barnsbury Conservation Area in Islington. These are the existing elevations of the house ...
The house was refurbished in the 1980's and has some nice post-modern alterations internally including large south facing rooflights but externally, the flat roof extensions are letting in quite a bit of moisture so there is some work that really needs to be done to these areas. Our client is interested to see the possibilities for extending the brief to include an extension to bedrooms above and improvements to their living spaces on the ground floor.
The yellow areas in the massing studies below show a few of the possibilities for altering the ground floor spaces, extending the house to the rear and extending upwards.

1. The Existing house. 2. Single storey extension. 3. 1st floor Bedroom Extension with Terrace. 4. A 3rd floor Rooftop Study. 5. A complete reworking of the house refurbishment throughout & creating 2 new double bedrooms & a study.
We are currently working up some sketch schemes for the house and are looking forward to working closely with our client to produce an innovative design that is both beautiful and utilises all of the space available, whilst respecting the restraints of this prominent Conservation Area and being adjoined to next door's Grade ii listed terrace.
Fashion Shop
We've been commissioned to design a new fashion store. Have a look at our early designs below. The design is based on clothing designs - a the concept of two asymmetrical halves. We took this as inspiration and applied it to our design along with the idea of dressmaking patterns that fold to create surfaces, shelves and lighting recesses.
Dhow House
London Atelier have recently been commissioned to design a holiday house on the island of Lamu in Kenya. Here are some of our initial sketches looking at the views and interior courtyards.
InMidTown Habitats Competition
Here is our entry for the InMidTown Habitats Competition. Our proposal looked at creating a landscape from interconnecting beehives and planters. We also proposed an idea for a collection of bird houses formed from separate octraderons connected together to wrap around trees or along walls.
Portobello Arcade
We are very pleased to have recently received planning permission to transform the shop fronts, signage and lighting for our project at the Portobello Arcade.
Tite Street Colours
Our original colour palette inspired by tales of Oscar Wilde. Below a photo of choosing colours on site. Painted on the board are a toned down iterations of our original scheme. Choosing shades of grey!
Tite Street - Revealing Layers of the Past
Our Tite Street project is located in a former home of Oscar Wilde. Unfortunately no original copies of his manuscripts were found, but nonetheless it was very exciting to strip back all the later internal addition to reveal all the wonderful details and spaces.
