For architect Stuart Archer, one part of Archer + Braun, a move to a Georgian terraced house in the historic conservation area of Albert Gardens in Stepney, east London, came with a chance to reimagine and extend its space for contemporary life. The solution? An intervention that introduced broken plan living – zoned areas that feel more defined than in an open-plan layout – and a flexible new kitchen at the back. As it comes on to the market, Archer tells us of how the work has suited the life of a growing family.
Stuart: “It was a real fixer-upper! It had been a students’ house for 10 years and hadn’t been touched since the 1970s, with floral wallpaper and stained carpets everywhere. It needed an overhaul.

“My wife and I had been living in the middle of nowhere up in the Highlands for two years, where I was designing my mum a house. We came back to London and lived in Stoke Newington for a bit, then we found this house.

“Beyond the studenty vibe, we could see that the actual house was really lovely. It forms part of a terrace that were Georgian dockworker houses and the terraces on both sides of the street somehow managed to survive being bombed in the war. So it’s completely unspoiled and the street has been used as a set for lots of period shoots.

“The temptation was to smash all the interior walls down to create one big open-plan space but we didn’t want to do that because, actually, I think it can end up making a space feel smaller.

“Instead, we decided to keep some of the walls to define the different areas: entrance hall, living room, dining room and kitchen. And we’ve tried to be clever within that, like punching holes into the hallway wall so that light comes through and there’s an interaction between the different spaces, but it’s not all open.

“Its just so that space is slightly more defined. We left a bit of wall between the lounge and the multifunctioning dining area/playroom so you could put a sofa in without it being open to the rest of the space. You get slightly more privacy, I guess, but you can still interact with the other spaces.
