Architecture for London has completed the renovation of a five-storey Georgian townhouse on Albert Street, Camden, returning the building to use as a single-family home after years of subdivision and alteration.<\/p>\n
Originally built around 200 years ago, the house had been converted to a nursery and later a house in multiple occupation with eight bedrooms, which resulted in the loss of original features. The project reinstated key historic details while introducing a new rear extension and a flexible layout to accommodate extended family visits.<\/p>\n
The project, led by project architect Amrit Marway, was on site from October 2023 to August 2024 and delivered a gross internal floor area of 280sqm.<\/p>\n
The reinstated first floor serves as the principal living space, with a kitchen and dining room finished in oak and Mazzorbo honed green terrazzo supplied by Design Driven. Original floorboards have been exposed, and period joinery and details restored.<\/p>\n
A two-storey rear extension adds further living and dining areas, distinguished by rotary cut and flatsawn Douglas fir ceilings. A courtyard lightwell separates the extension from the original rear facade, restoring its proportions.<\/p>\n
External works included reinstating decorative wrought iron balustrades and a period front door to the street elevation. Portland Stone was used for external paving.<\/p>\n
Specification was central to the refurbishment, with lighting by Orluna, beech flooring from Junckers and quarry tiles supplied by Ketley.<\/p>\n
The layout provides flexibility for multi-generational living: additional kitchens on the lower ground and top floors allow these levels to operate semi-independently during family visits.<\/p>\n
Architecture for London acted as both architect and interior designer on the project.<\/p>\n
