Within a Conservation Area
House CN is a remarkable renovation of a terraced house situated between Hackney and Shoreditch in East London. This project elegantly blends sustainability, craftsmanship, and user-centric design, creating a harmonious and timeless living space. The design juxtaposes natural materials with thoughtfully reused elements, emphasizing environmental responsibility and modern comfort. The home’s existing extension and a tranquil garden, featuring Italian olive trees, provide a harmonious backdrop that seamlessly integrates with the interiors. Drawing inspiration from the ancient Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, the design celebrates simplicity and natural minimalism blending it with elements of Scandinavian hygge, promoting warmth, comfort, and a sense of well-being. This elegant transformation was brought to life through collaboration with visionary clients who share a deep appreciation for design and expert craftsmanship. House CN exemplifies a refined balance of aesthetic elegance and contemporary living. Photo credit ©Uliana Grishina.
