PROPERTY
A three storey Victorian terraced house that had been converted in the 1970’s into many bedsits. The entire house needed gutting to create a modern home, and along with Hugh Cullum Architects Ltd, designer Caroline Cobbold reconfigured the interior into a beautiful four bedroom family home with stunning views over Alexandra Palace.

FAMILY ROOM
Caroline Cobbold worked closely with the home owners and Hugh Cullum Architects Ltd to create a fun, modern and practical family home. Renovated from multiple bedsits from the 1970's, this house was a true transformation which consisted of re-imagining room size and creating more space and light throughout. This was a three storey Victorian residential which comprised of completely gutting the original interior, restructuring the inside and adding a full refurbishment.
For the interiors, Caroline Cobbold used a bold colour palette and included a fusion of vintage and modern furniture, coupled with bespoke and high end lighting.
