Ashley Crescent, a converted 1970’s three bedroom speculative residential development, sits to the end of terrace dwellings. The renovated house in South London connects with the familiar and established qualities of the surroundings. Under careful inspection and through the detailed design, however, it establishes a quiet, subversive distance.

The brief was to convert the existing terrace property to fit the everyday lifestyle of ‘a couple, a growing son and a cute small dog’. This is reconfigured throughout the floor layouts. The design intentions seek to establish a relationship between the 'old & new', where using the existing outline of the original building identifies as the shell and integrating new modern elements.
