Rosebery Road
Set over four split floor levels, this newly transformed north London home is an outstanding example of how to remodel and create high quality spaces within a typical semi-detached house. This contemporary and light filled home has expansive glazing and balconies which open out to the garden below, and effortlessly combines tactile and inviting materials across the interior and exterior thresholds.
