Best Designed Houses in London

The house assembles around the central open stair, its timber strands growing upwards towards the light and unleashing delicate tendrils to frame each step, a single thin metallic line dancing across their lines to offer the lightest of additional support to the hands that seek it. To the right, spaces sneak into the stair – as bathroom storage below or the underside of the desk above – while to the right the open treads fan and splay into a generous array of surfaces for the living room. Their lower steps support a seat and soft-spot, while their upper elements flow around the sitter with a sea of books and shelves.

Interior Designer Susan Knof of London-based architects and designers SHH has created a new home for private clients in Hyde Park, London, which combines understated elegance with practical and flexible spaces for real family usage, set within a classic, white stucco Victorian townhouse.
SHH’s client – an international family with a suite of homes (including one in New York and one in continental Europe) – purchased the four-storey property and appointed SHH both as interior architect and designer/decorator to re-plan and redesign the interior to fit their specific wants and needs.
‘The overall brief for the interior was non-prescriptive in terms of detail, but was more about feel. commented Susan Knof, SHH Senior Designer and lead designer for the interior. ‘The client asked for a classic and sophisticated series of spaces in muted grey tones. As the client didn’t like curtains, wall coverings or finishes such as polished plaster, we had to look for ways to add an element of glamour to the requested cool, calm and classic approach, so that the space also had variety, drama and a sensual richness.’

You could call this French country home a labor of love for London architects Greg Blee and Lee Halligan – one ultimately spanning almost 30 years. Blee’s parents purchased this countryside home in 1981. Originally built in 1822, this historic home with a mill and three additional structures on the property were in desperate need of some TLC, and with the help of family and friends, the Blees brought this rustic cabin home back to its full glory. In March 2010, Blee Halligan Architects completed the transformation of a 215-sq.-ft. cabin design on the property. This compact cottage was actually made off site, and transported in small pieces via Chunnel. Once on its idyllic site, the prefabricated cabin took shape as an eco friendly cottage, made of local natural materials and complete with solar panels. This passive solar home design really “works” with its natural surroundings. Blee Halligan Architects
