I was asked to help create a flexible work and living space in this Grade II listed space, owned by a graphic designer and fashion designer couple. Situated on the famous Boundary Estate Conservation Area in Tower Hamlets, the house was full of character but limited on storage and display space for their expansive collection.

I started by simplifying the layout, moving the bedroom to the quieter rear, and the knocking through the walls at the front to create a multifunctional dining, office and spare bedroom space. Customised deep-storage units were built to frame the room and display their belongings, and sliding doors were added to make it easy to open and close off the living spaces.

All materials used were inexpensive and sustainable, including pegboard and reclaimed school science desks for texture. A simple palette of white and walnut allowed a clean backdrop for showing off the owners’ things, and a calm productive space for them both to work.
