Hood House is a playful protector that respects the heritage character of Carlton North whilst celebrating purposeful change. It is a luxurious yet compact and hyper-functional home defined by an exploration of contrast: it is ornamental and restrained, subdued and lively, stately and casual, compartmental and open. For us, it is also a project with an unusual history. This dual-natured renovation evolved through the ownership of two separate clients. Originally intended to accommodate the needs of a young family of four, we shifted gears at the eleventh hour and adapted a thoroughly resolved design solution to the needs of only two. From a young, nuclear family to a blended adult one, our design solution was put to a test of flexibility. The result is a subtle renovation almost invisible from the street yet dramatic in its expressive qualities. An oblique view from the northwest reveals the playful zigzag of the new roof, the rippling metal hood. This is a form-making exercise that connects old to new as well as establishing spatial drama in what might otherwise have been utilitarian rooms upstairs. A simple palette of Australian hardwood timbers and white surfaces are complimented by tactile splashes of brass and rich moments of colour that reveal themselves from behind closed doors. Our internal joke is that Hood House is like Lazarus, risen from the ashes. We’re grateful that almost six years of hard work have culminated in this beautiful, protective and playful house, and so pleased that Glenda and Alistair get to call it home.

BASEMENT CONVERSION TO A LARGE VICTORIAN HOUSE IN SW18 Our clients required a full-footprint basement conversion under their large Victorian house in Wandsworth to provide additional accommodation and facilities for their growing family. Their basement comprises a large media room, playroom, utility with a secondary kitchen, guest bedroom and separate shower room. Full-height frameless glass wall panels allow light to pass right through the basement, and a stunning basement hallway gives the whole floor plan a strong sense of architectural purpose. The basement design was executed by OLBC’s design team, from planning consent for the basement excavation, floor plans to finishing touches including beautiful wallpapers and a mother of pearl tile detail in the hallway. The end result is a spectacular cutting-edge basement, flooded with light: inviting, bright and spacious.

This inviting living room is a showcase of contemporary charm, featuring a thoughtfully curated collection of furniture that exudes timeless style. Anchored by a captivating patterned rug, the furniture pieces come together in harmony, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. A striking entertainment unit seamlessly adjoins a fireplace, sharing its exquisite stone surround, which gracefully extends beneath the television. This design integration not only adds a touch of elegance but also serves as a central focal point, enhancing the room's aesthetic appeal.

El reto de este proyecto fue el diseñar una casa en un terreno muy inclinado. Es un diseño sobrio y minimalista

Central voids funnel a stream of light into the house whilst allowing cross ventilation. The voids provide visual and acoustic separation between rooms, whilst still affording a vertical connection. In order to balance the shared spaces with the need for solitary, private spaces, we were able to convince our Client to extend the brief to incorporate a series of small “interludes”.

Media unit: The media unit was designed to ensure that it served all living room requirements. It can be used as a lighting feature, a display unit and a storage unit that houses the media entertainment system. It can be closed and switched off when not needed. The unit was divided into 2 wall mounted units suspended from the floor and ceiling which created a bigger sense of room space. We used a 30% sheen paint to create the right amount of warm and cosy light reflection without being too bright.
