Small terraced house

The owners of this London semi stretched themselves to buy a small, dark, former rental, then got creative to turn it into a family-friendly home

After buying a house recently and getting pretty hands on I thought I'd look back and reflect on the ups and downs, tips and what I might do differently (if money was no option). If I won millions in the lottery I'd love nothing more then restoring some of these tired looking Victorian terraces back to their former glory, but that's highly unlikely, so I'll start with the one for now... This rather sorry looking terrace house is typical of many in the East London area, and when I say typical…

When renovating a 19th-century Victorian terrace house in South London, Patalab Architecture first turned to its bones. “The house, when purchased by our client, was in a tired state and there were major structural issues that needed to be addressed, justifying the opportunity to fundamentally rearrange the layout,” says Uwe Schmidt-Hess, founder and director, noting its narrow width at 4 meters, or roughly 13 feet.
