Chelsea Townhouse
A London home nestles neatly between two rows of terraces on a tight urban site within a historic conservation area. The old house required demolition in its entirety leaving just the party walls either side. The stucco façade was then faithfully rebuilt and enhanced in harmony with the street with the addition of a new porch. The site is a long narrow slot which becomes larger towards the middle of the plan. The proposal was to create a modern, light and efficient home, highly crafted, with an external courtyard at its centre.

We brought the house back as a single family home as it once was. We were lucky in that a substantial number of original features remained intact.

Victoria Park Redesign
Rees Architects designed and project managed the refurbishment of this duplex flat in Victoria Park, East London - making it fit to rent in this popular and competitive area. Rees were also responsible for all of the interior design, kitchen and bathroom design, bespoke joinery design, and the selection of all furnishings, fixtures and fitting.
We got straight to work removing a section of the wall between the kitchen and the living room to create an open plan space full of light. Then to give the kitchen a further sense of openness, we installed a glazed door allowing a window into the hallway. We went one step further with this by using the level of the panes in the door to insert three more windows across the top of the kitchen si... More
