Arch House - Newham, London, UK (2022-2024)

Full extension, interior refurbishment of a terraced house in Wanstead, East London.

In the leafy East London suburb of Wanstead, a typical terraced house has been given a new lease of life by Polysmiths. Captured by the owners’ British and Gibraltar roots, Polysmiths employed various architectural and material design strategies that refine open-plan living, using structural arches to create a series of interconnected spaces for flexible live/work - all achieved within a tight budget and time frame.

Typical of a London terraced house, the existing house had a dark corridor that connects a series of rooms to the rear, and a large west-facing garden that opens out to an abundance of nature and sky. This prompted the architect to seek out innovative ways of introducing daylight to the interior, and employ design strategies to connect the rooms with the outdoor spaces.

The result is a low-waste, sustainable renovation that balances the buzz of modern London life with textures and warmth of the Mediterranean, with the owners saying they feel they are ‘on holiday every day’.
