Set in the genteel suburb of Muswell Hill in North London, Brick House is a five-bedroom Edwardian terrace house given a new lease on life by Melissa White Architects for a sociable couple and their three active boys. The architects were briefed to design a home that balances busy family life with defined spaces for rest, work, and socializing. The addition of new spacious volumes, harnessing natural light, and inviting far-reaching vistas of the surrounding Alexandra Palace parklands were also on the client’s initial wishlist.

How to design livable spaces, making the most of the available square meters? Currently, the design of housing in major urban centers is often linked to finding ways to optimize interior spaces, integrate environments for better lighting and ventilation, and establish a connection with the outdoors. According to the needs of its inhabitants, project requirements, and often construction costs, architecture professionals seek to provide flexibility, spaciousness, and adaptability to spaces through renovations, transformations, and more, which provide good living conditions and consider the possible changes that future generations may have to face.
