"London-based architecture practice Mosley Thorold has transformed a Victorian villa into a coherent and materially rich family home. Once remodelled into a flamboyant 1990s party house, the existing property featured a number of bizarre circulation conditions including a poorly detailed mezzanine walkway leading nowhere but breaking up the double height space and views of the garden at the rear. This fragmented the plan, and cluttered the space leaving the house with disoriented circulation unsuitable for family life."

A Victorian villa was transformed into a coherent, materially rich family home. The property had been remodelled into a flamboyant 1990s party house causing bizarre circulation conditions. A poorly detailed mezzanine walkway led nowhere, broke up the double-height space, and interrupted views of the rear garden. The fragmented plan cluttered the interior and produced disoriented circulation unsuitable for family life. The refurbishment restored flow through the plan and reconnected spatial sequences. Daylight was brought deeply into the layout to enhance brightness and spatial clarity. Materials were selected to create a coherent and materially rich interior that supports daily activities.
