A serial renovator on her third project, Rose project managed and designed every element of this Edwardian home herself — transforming a tired, 40-year-unchanged property in SW London into an eclectic, light-filled family home, complete with a rear extension, a reimagined loft, and a glass wine wall that her builder suggested and she'll never regret.

Homeowner Patsy O'Neal and Smith & Newton Architects took a tired 1850s Victorian terrace in North London and gave it something it had never had — a bold, confident identity. The result is a home that doesn't shy away from colour or contrast, with a contemporary rear extension that opens the ground floor up to the garden in a way the original layout never allowed.
