GC House You rA rc hi te c t Lond on N atural light was at the heart of this project. Born out of the need to expand a Victorian property for a growing family, the core am- bition was to create a flexible living space that reflected a new approach to contem- porary design, characterized by light and simplicity. Minimal sightlines and subtle textures gen- erate a sense of relaxation and harmony, whilst glass and douglas fir run throughout the home to create a series of interconnect- ed spaces that inspire social and flexible living. A glass staircase links all floors, al- lowing light to flow effortlessly through the property, with views up through the home to create a sense of space and continuity.
