Riverdale, Richmond

Status: Detailed Design

A project in south‑west London transforms a “dated” 1920s Art Deco home through a sensitive retrofit and extension. Embracing the RetroFirst principles, we preserved key period details—curved walls, streamlined windows, and decorative mouldings—while integrating contemporary spaces that enhance functionality and light. The design balances heritage and modern living, extending the footprint with clean-lined additions that echo the original Art Deco aesthetic. By retaining and adapting the existing structure rather than replacing it, the project reduces embodied carbon and safeguards the home's architectural character, bringing a fresh, timeless elegance to family life..
