Proud to announce we’ve been shortlisted for Don’t Move Improve! 2024, @nlalondon annual competition selecting the best home improvements in London.
This year, a new People’s Choice Award will be selected by public vote. If you’d like to support us, we’d be grateful if you vote for our House Extension in Stoke Newington via the link in bio :)
The project is a sensitive intervention, using salvaged bricks stained to match the existing loft and up-cycled garden pavers. Together with an ASHP and PV panels, they boost the property’s environmental credentials.
For a strong inside-outside connection, each window frames a different part of the garden - a large tree, a green roof, a planter, and a patio.
The interior is functional, warm, airy and connected to the garden.

Our second project longlisted for @dont.move.improve it’s a wraparound extension in Stoke Newington. Stay tuned for the shortlist announcement later this month!
The client wanted a house with a strong inside-outside connection so we designed each window to frame a different part of the garden.

Excited to see the formwork removed, which completes the ground floor structure at House P49 in @dumbravavlasiei
We worked closely with the contractor to select the shuttering panels to obtain the right pattern, as the rough concrete finish will be left exposed on the inside.
Structure for the first floor starting soon!
Project: House P49
Status: completion expected 2024
Team: Anamaria Rusu, Bogdan Rusu, Andrei Patriche, Andrei Gherla

@dont.move.improve selected two of our projects to run for the 2024 awards!
We’ll start with the first project - our Putney riverside restoration and extension. It is designed in connection with a wild garden invited towards the heart of the house.
