Field House
A double-fronted Georgian property overlooking London Fields that has been vacant for 5 years, has been transformed into a 3-storey family home, centred around a new, light filled gallery stair.
The property is entered on the ground floor, which is split into two double-aspect wings, a lounge on one side and a kitchen diner on the other, which includes a bespoke and colourful double-galley kitchen.
Both wings are separated by a new triple-height stairwell that has been carved out of the heart of the building. Full height glass doors connect the living spaces of the property to the stair area and the new basement, creating surprising views and bringing light to all levels. A new bridge spans one side of the triple height stairwell.

Behind the Scenes on Love Your Home and Garden in our new Blog
This evening saw our Directors George + Ewald return to ITV’s Love Your Home to transform another home for a deserving family.
To coincide with the new TV show, George + Ewald have launched a new blog to share the stories behind our projects, their design process and tips that we hope you can take to your own design projects.
The first two blog posts share behind the scenes images and insights from the development and planning of the transformations featured in Love Your Home and Garden. These include the brief, challenges and learnings from tonight’s refurbishment of Anne and Mike’s family home and creating a more dementia-friendly space. George + Ewald explore why, sometimes, you don’t even need to extend as well as their top tips on maximising your ‘kitchen triangle’!
You can read George + Ewald’s blog here – please keep checking back for more of their design top tips over the coming months.
