Embarking on the journey of transforming homes in London into bespoke and captivating living spaces, Bradley Van Der Straeten Architects brings a fresh perspective to design solutions. As a residential architect in London focusing on sustainable home design and the harmony between functionality and aesthetic appeal, our commitment goes beyond the conventional: crafting homes that are joyful, colourful and thoughtfully designed for contemporary living.
Let’s delve into a journey through some of the notable residential projects our house renovation architects have worked on, each addressing design challenges unique to London’s diverse house typologies.
Mazarine: Belsize Park, London
Mazarine represents the vibrant union of two mansion apartments in Belsize Park that were combined to create a two-story family home. Our house renovation architects were challenged with the design focus of maximizing daylight, incorporating thoughtful and colourful interior design into the renovation and ensuring that a large number of visitors could be accommodated comfortably and communally when hosted. With a client deeply passionate about travel, art and natural materials, Mazarine unfolds as an eloquent expression of colour, light and flow.
It stands as a noteworthy project that exemplifies our expertise in delivering high-end bespoke interiors and one that we take immense pride in. The interview with Sreeja and Gautham, the occupants of Mazarine, is a really interesting insight into the collaboration we had with them on the interiors.
The Judd: Tottenham, London
The Judd is a bold and vibrant transformation of a Victorian terrace into a low energy home, inspired by the work of the American artist Donald Judd. This sustainable home design project was awarded Best Interior Design at the 2023 British Homes Awards. We think it is a great example of how a home designed for low energy and sustainable living can also be beautiful.
Hawthorn House: Hackney, London
A garden oasis property in De Beauvoir, London, that celebrates unadorned craftsmanship and the design minds of its inhabitants. This sustainable home design project was awarded Best Home Transformation at the 2022 British Homes Awards.
This is a great example of how we love to consider the garden as an integral part of a home transformation. The best way to explore this project is to watch the video we made with the clients.
Tonal Terrace: Hackney, London
Tonal Terrace is a four-storey townhouse in Dalston re-imagined and transformed into a bold, colourful and bohemian sanctuary. We love working with colour because of its transformative power and ability to infuse homes with vibrancy and individuality.

The Venetian Pantry: Hackney, London
The Venetian Pantry is a remodel of a Victorian terrace in Stoke Newington, with a rustic, Italian charm, that is centred around a sociable kitchen and its pantry.
To us, this project represents what can be achieved with simplicity: utilising natural materials and light; rather than our usual, more colourful, interior design principles; to create spaces that are warm and personable. It also shows that we appreciate variation in our designs, as it is entirely different from some of our other projects.
