Refurbishment and Restore Issue 13 2018 | Page 38

Russell Road Hugh Cullum Architects Russell Road is a three storey C19th Victorian terraced house in the Crouch End Conservation Area. Before our refurbishment it was a labyrinthine boarding house with as many unfortunate alterations as occupants. We restored the circulation and made sense of the hierarchy of the rooms and their uses. The clients, a newly married couple, were keen to have a home to start a family and our brief was to create a safe, warm and hospitable house. We wanted to maximise sun light and unify the living areas so as to create the sense of inclusivity. We’ve created a glazed roof kitchen / dining / lounge area on the ground floor and the top floor master bedroom has a floor to ceiling glazed north facing wall with fantastic views up to Alexandra Palace and beyond. 38 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk
