W.LAMBETH is a meticulous restoration and extension of a circa 1902 early-stage Edwardian home, blending modern and traditional craftsmanship to create a timeless luxury residence.
The full restoration involved removing and replacing ornamental features with a seamless fusion of classic and contemporary techniques, allowing the historic charm to shine through while accommodating the evolving needs of the modern homeowner.
The collaboration between the builders, architects, and clients resulted in a truly elevated space that is both functional and aesthetically captivating, delivered on time and on budget.
At its heart is a limestone-wrapped, multi-level extension, complete with a subterranean living space. The use of Madison limestone on the façade carries through to the interior walls and floors, creating a cohesive flow.
“We like to use a limited palette of materials to give each one of our houses a clear identity. The Madison limestone of this extention’s facade was continued inside on the walls and floor.
A concrete display ledge in the living area extends out to the courtyard that is built over subterranean second living spaces. The concrete bench like the use of stone inside and out, further emphasising the connectivity between both areas. The windows to the courtyard slide back into the wall cavity”
The home’s interior is enriched with bespoke features, including a classic travertine ensuite outfitted with sculptural scoop stone basins and a custom folding vanity unit—examples of timeless design elements perfected through years of collaboration with the design team.
Upstairs, the warmth of European oak flooring and wave-fold curtains enhances the passageway, leading to an in-situ concrete terrace that offers expansive views. A restrained palette of materials gives the home a distinctive identity while emphasizing connectivity and balance throughout the spaces.
