Elfort Road House Amos Goldreich Architecture This project, a Victorian terraced house in Islington, comprises of a side and roof extension, as well as extensive internal refurbishment. Featuring open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas on the ground and lower-ground floors, Elfort Road House has been transformed from dark and cluttered into light and spacious. Our clients, a young family of three, required a larger property with extensive space. The brief was to create a light, airy, family- friendly environment: an abode featuring sophisticated simplicity, clever uses of space, an open-plan feel for entertaining, contemporary touches, yet with a respect for the original period style and featuring high-quality, timeless design.  The spaces for eating, living and working are arranged over an open series of half-levels, exploiting volume and light. Removing the third bedroom at the first half- landing resulted in a study half the depth and a spacious double-height living room. 24 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk
