Bromley Residence

A contemporary reinterpretation of a typical suburban dwelling.

Tasked with turning the site of a dilapidated suburban 1970s house into a contemporary family home, our London based studio drew inspiration from the original plan form and general massing of neighbouring dwellings to evolve a simple volumetric, maximising both useable space and daylight penetration.

Utilising a simple palate of high quality materials provides a restrained character to the interior.

The clients brief was to provide flexible living accommodation to suit a blended family of adults, teenagers and youngsters which can truly become a lifetime home. The clients desired an open plan living space, needed more bedrooms and in terms of general aesthetics, they said simply, ‘make it more miami’, which of course meant the inclusion of a swimming pool.

Whilst maintaining the external appearance of a two storey dwelling, careful reconfiguration of the vertical circulation has enabled a sanctuary master bedroom suite within the roof form, adding approximately 30% of new living accommodation within almost the same volume and footprint as the original house.
