Reclaimed materials feature alongside brightly painted new spaces in this transformation of two Victorian maisonettes in London by Studio 30 Architects.
Called Rylett House, the project sits within a conservation area in west London.

Studio 30 Architects freed up the interiors of the home, grouping utility spaces in a new basement level
The ground floor is opened up with an entrance hall, study and reception organised around a winding stair and finished with reclaimed flooring and doors.

A children's play area has also been created alongside the storage areas in the basement, lit via a window that overlooks a small lightwell by the home's entrance.
A bright red door opens on to an entrance area framing views through to the rear extension overlooking the garden.

"A snaking timber handrail connecting all floors and visually echoing the buildings history."

At the rear of Rylett House, a conservatory was demolished to make way for the extension.
This new space houses a large living, kitchen and dining area.

An old carpenter's bench has been repurposed as a kitchen island for this space, illuminated by a skylight and contrasted by a new terrazzo floor.

The extension is finished in pale brick and overlooks the garden with a projecting timber window box topped by plants.
