A family house "joyfully transformed" with terracotta-coloured extensions has been named London's best home improvement project by Don't Move, Improve! 2024.
The house renovation by local studio Emil Eve Architects, named Aden Grove, has been selected as the overall winner of the annual award from a shortlist of 16 projects.
It was praised by this year's jury for its playful use of colour while also providing a "purposeful and functional" space for the family that lives there.
The project has introduced a bright open-plan kitchen and dining area
The ground-level extension stretches across the width of its plot and contains a bright open-plan kitchen and dining area, combatting what Emil Eve Architects said was once a "dark and narrow" interior. Meanwhile, in the loft, a spacious ensuite bedroom has been created. "The extensions are considered as a pair with unified cladding and glazing," the studio's co-founder Ross Perkin told Dezeen.
"All of the new rooms feature windows that stretch to the ceiling and opportunities have been found to bring greenery and planting right up to the interior spaces."
