A Victorian Remodel with an Industrial Edge

August 16, 2012

With their perennial quest for more space, Londoners are digging down to create functional basements. Digging’s the easy part though; the challenge comes with filling the void.

In a complete overhaul of a Victorian house in west London, architects Stiff + Trevillion created a modern family home by filling the basement with a large kitchen, living and eating area, while introducing a strong industrial aesthetic that weaves the new together with the old.

external windows and screens to divide the space—were used to create an industrial feel in the basement kitchen and dining area.
