The practice was appointed by a well known London Landlord to provide a full architectural service remodelling this small central London property. The brief was to design an appealing pied-a-terre rental for professional clients.
As it is in a conservation area the Council resisted extensions. The alternative was to maximize the potential within the existing footprint by introducing daylight and creating a flowing open plan.
We designed a modern staircase and large glazed roof at the rear, which create visual and spatial drama. There is a bedroom with en-suite bathroom on the first floor, High quality finishes create style and opulence.

The practice was recommended by an existing client and subsequently commissioned to design this new house.
The brief was to demolish the existing house on the site and replace it with a much larger six bedroom home in a similar venacular style. This was in tune with the planning requirement for the design to be sympathetic with other 1950's houses in the road.
Although the front is conventional, the rear is more complex. The plan maximizes permissible planning guidelines with floating roofs at ground level reflected in the roof dormer above. Rear terraces are built above ground to mitigate against flooding and cascade down to the garden with seating and dining areas built in.

The owner of this large house asked the Practice to design a basement to accommodate a swimming pool, gym and office. Later they added a ground floor kitchen-dining extension. After discussion, we advised that it would be more economical to construct it under the rear garden rather than under the main house.
This decision was crucial to the project's success, allowing more freedom to plan a longer pool and lowered courtyard with access to the rear garden unencumbered by structural restrictions. The courtyard was later glazed over to combine an external day-lit terrace linked to the pool and garden above.
MR design provided full architectural services from inception to completion on site.

Earlsfield Road London SW18
The developer client of this new house wanted a grand but simple classical mansion with contemporary interior layout.
The front and rear elevations were carefully designed using the classical 'golden triangle' system of proportions.
The striking and unusual building is clad entirely in stone. The grand entrance leads into a triple height hallway with a staircase rising through three floors. This space is top lit by a large rooflight spanning the full width. Rooms are arranged either side of this central space with the largest rooms running across the full width of the house at the rear with views of the garden.
A modern pavilion was designed for the rear garden which provided temporary living accommodation whilst the main house was under construction.

Parkstone Avenue, Hornchurch
The Practice was appointed by a regular developer client to design this new apartment building.
The site imposed complex planning constaints, including height restrictions to make it compatibile with the rest of the street. The design comprises a mixture of one and two-bedroom apartments in line with local demand. The plan form reduces circulation whilst exploiting cross-ventilation and daylight penetration into each apartment. It also affords generous private external spaces.
Once planning approval was granted the site was sold to another developer and MR Design had no further involvement.
