When renovating a 19th-century Victorian terrace house in South London, Patalab Architecture first turned to its bones. “The house, when purchased by our client, was in a tired state and there were major structural issues that needed to be addressed, justifying the opportunity to fundamentally rearrange the layout,” says Uwe Schmidt-Hess, founder and director, noting its narrow width at 4 meters, or roughly 13 feet.

This house is actually two terraced cottages knocked together, dating from the mid-19th century. Set in a lovely village in the Derbyshire countryside, it's been converted into the perfect, cosy family home.
