Architecture studio Nikjoo has renovated a post-war home called Trove in east London, opening up its interior and adding a pair of extensions with fittings by emerging designers.
Nikjoo collaborated with creative developer Flawk to carry out the project, after its founder Ashley Law purchased the derelict house in 2022.

The London studio was responsible for transforming Trove's dark and compartmentalised interior and expanding it with rear and attic extensions, while Flawk led the interior design.
Flawk's focus for the interior was on commissioning work by a range of emerging designers for the home's fixtures and fittings.

"The brief was to maximise space and light to create a calm, serene environment that would not only support flexible, modern living but also form a backdrop to playful design interventions," Nikjoo told Dezeen. "Through the curation of pieces by young, independent designers, Flawk set out to create intrigue and delight through often overlooked elements such as door handles, lights and loo roll holders."
Walls were stripped back to reveal existing brickwork
On the ground floor, the internal walls were removed to create an open space. A kitchen and dining area now occupies the home's original footprint, while the rear extension contains a living space that overlooks a courtyard garden through a large folding window.
