We’ve been keeping busy with this little Summer project to spoil our tenants a little more! Muswell House garden was in need of a lot of TLC following the development of adjacent project The Cove. The idea was to re-design space around the garden with a decking area to allow outdoor enjoyment. Since the usable … Continue reading
Nearly there. It just does not help that our builder’s van has been stolen last night…together with all of his tools! Continue reading
Firstly, to those of you who wonder where the heck are the rest of my posts, I am so sorry it has taken me so long to update you but various circumstances made this building construction painful journey even more painful until the very end, juggling with various priorities and poking around in the dark … Continue reading

Finally there is some good news for all you doggie people living in Muswell Hill… Scooby’s … Continue reading
Wall panels aren’t installed yet. Don’t you just love the Hudson Reed shower collection with the stylish Quattro shower head and Genna Shower Mixer. Shower is still not to be used because of the exposed drywall .. but then again the walls are now waterproof … the bathroom has been tanked baby! Time for a … Continue reading
Right. It has been a long time since our last update. Truth is things have been extremely difficult with budget hic-ups, neighbour complaints, and logistics “challenges”. But we are back on track now. The flat is now fully insulated, with double glazing doors and windows installed and the wc is finally connected to the main … Continue reading
Another tick in the box. I am loving our floor-to-ceiling cathedral-style windows and those Georgian bars really complement the look. Can’t wait for the facade [pure white] rendering to be plastered on top of those bare blocks but for the time being we are focusing on the internal work. Continue reading
With the roof now in place and the brick work sorted we can now [finally] focus on the partitioning of the mezzanine and bathroom area. I know this is a long shot and it requires all your best effort of imagination but here is a 3d sketch of the interiors when things will take … Continue reading
Roof is now sorted. We used ”Duratile” tile-effect roof sheets from Southern Sheeting and it looks great. According to our builder installing the roof was a reasonably painless process, taking less time than traditional tiling with clay tiles. It worked out being also cheaper than traditional tiles and a possibly more durable product. Hooray! Continue reading
We have been delayed by a number of factors: The weather, planning permission application and our ”lovely” neighbors. But here we are now, back on track after a forced Christmas break. The timber joists, bolts and plywood for roofing are being installed as we speak while the roof tiles should be put in place soon. … Continue reading
We are about a couple of weeks behind schedule, but hopefully with the walls done and the roof coming in soon we will resume the project. Continue reading
A year down the track after our last project The Bow Den and we are already keeping busy with another project. Muswell Cove is technically an extension of one of our beautiful properties in Muswell Hill, North London but it will be let as a separate unit as it features self contained amenities, a private … Continue reading
We did it. We flipped the apartment in 33 days of labour and we are now about to hand the keys over the new tenants. The flat has been snapped up after the second day of viewings…We only managed to show this beautiful apartment to two interested parties, before we had to take it off the … Continue reading
Oh my, what a great week! The stair parts are finally in and it looks fabs. Loft-y and contemporary as I always wanted it to be. I designed the stairs in 3d, our builder Erni brought the timber parts and we picked a urban/contemporary satinwood grey paint for the handrail. Today should be our last … Continue reading
