We transformed a tired townhouse apartment on the River Dee in West Kirby into a modern, warm and welcoming waterside home. HUMAN Architecture Studio delivered full RIBA Stages 1–7, reorientating the layout to place living spaces at the front, opening the home to river views with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a striking new balcony. Using rich modern materials, exposed oak and Crittall-style screens, we restored townhouse proportions and added an additional bedroom while retaining parking and outdoor space. The project was such a success that the client immediately commissioned us for further work.
