In the heart of London, where tradition meets modernity, the renovation of a terraced house can often be challenging. However, with the skilled team at LCCL Construction on hand to deliver all aspects of this design and build project from start to finish, this transition was not only seamless but resulted in a transformation that epitomized luxury. This blog post explores the meticulous, high-end renovation of a classic London terraced house, combining modern and classic elements, showcasing how the project came to life from conception to completion.
A Vision for Luxury House Renovation
When tasked with remodeling this terraced house, the objective was clear: to create a luxurious yet functional space that met the daily lifestyle needs of the homeowners whilst also incorporating the best of modern and classic design to achieve a balance of aesthetics and practicality. The first phase was to design the project, this involved consultations with the clients to really get to know their project, likes and dislikes, what they needed from the house and priorities in full. This is important so that LCCL Construction's design experts can ensure that every detail reflected their vision, everything from the flow of the house to storage solutions for every room, the overriding look of the house and how this would be continued from room to room and the number and placement of sockets and switches was considered.
The Kitchen Extension
The heart of any home is undoubtedly the kitchen and this renovation took it to the next level with a stunning kitchen extension. The addition offered increased space, allowing for a generously sized kitchen replete with state-of-the-art appliances and a beautiful island for open-concept dining. The additional space and creation of an open plan layout with the existing rear part of the house also allowed for additional lounge and dining space. This created a multifunctional room that the whole family can make use of. Bespoke storage solutions were built in to house a utility cupboard, ensuring that a dedicated area was created for storage and laundry needs without taking space away from the kitchen. A home bar area was integrated into the large kitchen area. The fine detailing included having continuous matching flooring throughout the groundfloor installed with minimal thresholds, large format splashbacks for a luxury feel, brass accents and a wall of bi-fold doors to maximise the stunning views and beautifully landscaped garden and newly created terrace area.
The abundant natural light flooding through large bi-fold doors created an inviting atmosphere, perfect for both family gatherings and entertaining guests. A seamless transition into outdoor landscaped areas extended the living space, merging indoor and outdoor experiences and making the most of the view.
Loft Conversion: Maximizing Space
One of the standout features of this renovation was the loft conversion. Utilizing the underused attic space, LCCL Construction crafted a luxurious bedroom suite that provided privacy and tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. The
The loft bedroom was designed with the view in mind, allowing for a spacious feel while incorporating chic built-in storage solutions that maximized functionality. Large skylights invited natural light, creating an airy ambiance that made the space feel like a serene retreat. The loft conversion is perfectly incorporated in the overall look and feel of the house by using similar design features such as the same engineered wood floor as the first floor, recessed LED spotlights, bespoke feature lighting, a multi level pendent light between the loft and first floor and column radiators to match the entire property. The luxury bathroom was designed to be practical, feel spacious whilst perfectly complimening the look and feel of the first floor bathroom. All details were meticulously planned by LCCL Construction including adding features such as a breathtaking large format skylight above the shower, marble sink and large format tiles, walk in shower and recessed storage built into the wall, all tied together with matching accessories.
Reconfiguration of Living Spaces
The reconfiguration of the house's layout enhanced flow and accessibility. By opening up the ground floor, LCCL Construction created a spacious environment that felt interconnected yet distinct. The living room, dining area, and kitchen now flowed harmoniously, allowing for a natural circulation that works perfectly for modern living. The extension of the hallway to change the route of access and introduce front to back views as soon as you enter the property. The hallway also had plenty of additional bespoke integrated storage added in a way that considered the families needs, making it very easy to keep the house clutter free. A separate more formal living room was maintained at the front of the property so there is still an option for space away from the open plan living areas. As well as storage an additional downstairs bathroom was added. On the first floor many of the walls were removed an repositioned to alter the size of the bathroom, landing and to even up the bedroom sizes to create three double bedrooms and eliminate the box room which is typically of houses built in this period. This was all done sympathetically to maintain period features such as the bay windows, mathching the new loft staircase with the original existing one, installing a stunning luxury bathroom, hardwood flooring throughout, storage and column radiators.
Creating defined zones with high-end finishes, including designer hardware and integrated lighting, added character without compromising on style. This thoughtful rearrangement facilitated a personalized touch, making every corner of the home unique and functional.
Luxurious Bathrooms
Bathrooms can often feel like an afterthought in renovations; however, LCCL Construction ensured that the new luxury bathrooms were a highlight of this project. Three exquisite bathrooms were crafted, incorporating high-end finishes and modern fixtures suited to a five-star hotel experience.
Attention to detail was paramount, with beautiful tiles, bespoke cabinetry, and carefully selected lighting that created a relaxing oasis. Each bathroom was designed to be not only functional but a private retreat to unwind after a long day.
The design process included sourcing the finest materials and integrating them into a coherent style that ties the entire home together. LCCL Construction emphasied maintaining practicality whilst co-ordinating a look that flows throughout the whole property.
Home office and gym
Being mindful of the clients lifestyle and needs the team at LCCL Construction designed a combined space to incorporate the work and leisure needs of the family. The construction of a dedicated home office space and generously sized gym has been transformative to ensuring this family home meets and compliments the daily needs of all the family members who reside here.
Elegant Luxury Finishes
Luxury is in the details, and LCCL Construction understood this well. Throughout the home, custom finishes were employed to enhance the overall aesthetic. From exquisite wood flooring to elegant moldings and designer fixtures, each element was carefully chosen to reflect quality and sophistication.
The seamless integration of these finishes throughout the various spaces created a cohesive look that spoke to the architectural heritage of the home while embracing modern luxury.
Landscaping: Outdoor Serenity
Renovation doesn't stop at the interior, and this project was no exception with a stunning landscaping overhaul. The outdoor space transformed into an inviting garden with carefully selected plants that complemented the aesthetic of the house.
LCCL Construction aimed to create a seamless connection between the interior and exterior, ensuring outdoor areas were as luxurious as the inside. Cozy seating areas and beautifully designed pathways turned the garden into a tranquil space for relaxation and outdoor entertaining.
Security
Multiple layers of security features were implemented as part of this renovation to make the house safer and better prepared to conteract modern issues such as keyless car theft.
