The terraced home underwent a complete refurbishment including a large extension -- expanding the small main living space into a large area with a new bedroom. The home also had a roof conversion as well as a redesigned interior design. By taking out certain walls, the home now has a more efficient floor plan with a loft-like feel. Adding over-sized windows flooded the home with natural light, accenting the new modern appliances and finishes. A large terrace was added along with new landscaping for the garden, promoting indoor and outdoor living in the updated London Loft.
