Carysfort Road.

Project Info

We were invited by Moxy & Co Architects to showcase one of their latest projects in Stoke Newington, North London. We met Hannah, Architect & Director of Moxy & Co, along with one of our presenters, George, who showed us around the project on video. The house had been completed in two phases across 2020 and 2024, which included being thoughtfully extended to the rear and top floor, with a full renovation and interior design transformation throughout.

About the space

Carysfort Road is a terraced late Victorian property dating from around 1900. The house retains many of its original period features, including ornate plaster ceilings and fireplaces, and offers over 1,700 sq ft of accommodation across three floors. 

A neutral palette has been used throughout to provide a backdrop for the owners’ art collection, which includes oil on canvas works by Laura Footes, striking photographs by Angus McDonald, and original E. H. Shepard illustrations for A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh. 

At the rear of the house, the kitchen is a light-filled space featuring full-width bifold doors, a large linear rooflight, and a bespoke handcrafted kitchen. This opens onto a small courtyard garden, paved and filled with potted plants, with festoon lighting creating a relaxed atmosphere. 

The first floor is home to the master bedroom, which connects via Crittall-style doors to a generous dressing room. The main bathroom features tadelakt plaster walls, onyx sink units, brass fittings, and terracotta floor tiles. 

A newly built extension over the outrigger forms a dedicated office and library space, with a central roof lantern and Crittall-style glazing to both sides. Externally, the extension is clad in black charred timber. The top floor also provides a guest bedroom with open-plan ensuite, and an additional office, both showcasing exposed rafters that have been stained black to create a bold architectural feature.
