Featuring a double height glass and bronze-framed rear extension , TR Studio showcase NCH House , a 235 sq meter , five-storey Grade II listed townhouse in South Kensington , London , reconfigured and refurbished by the London-based architecture and interior design studio .
Briefed by the residential client , TR Studio were tasked with reconfiguring the lower and upper ground floors to create more space and provide a clear , visual connection to the garden which was to be landscaped to make the most of the small but private outside space . Alongside this , the studio was tasked to overhaul and create a master bedroom suite across one floor , create separate his and her study rooms and refurbish the floor belonging to the clients ’ children . No small task in a Grade II listed property .
Part of the prestigious Anstruther Kensington Estate , the property has a sense of history that TR Studio wanted to preserve , enhance , and restore wherever possible , adding too and respecting the property whilst ensuring it worked for the client . Opening spaces only where they thought it would add benefit to the family , and adding modern interventions , such as the rear glazing element were carefully considered so as to not to destroy the existing features needlessly .
