With a minimal style, Pawson combain Scandinavian furnishing with white surfaces and pale wooden floors to furnish his own Notting Hill house. He says that minimal style is reflective of his own aesthetic tastes, rather than a proposal for an alternative, stripped-back lifestyle.
“I don’t design what I do because I want to try and live the way it’s telling me to,” said Pawson to Dezeen, “It’s just how I want things. It’s a reflection of who I am and what I am.”

“This house was a chance to be our own clients,” said the architect couple. “It presented us with the opportunity to ‘practice what we preach’ to its fullest expression and create the Scenario House.”
Ran Ankory and Maya Carni added a glass-roofed extension to their family home, opening up the interiors and creating a split-level reception space facing the garden. In the lower area at the front of the house they create a lounge, and a more casual area for relaxing in front of a fireplace.

Gwendolyn Huisman and Marijn Boterman designed for themselves a house with hidden windows, black brick walls and a large indoor hammock feature in this skinny house with 3.4 metres wide and 20 metres deep.
“Each city has neglected spaces like this that are unused and underrated,” the duo explained. “These gaps can be upgraded to complete the urban fabric, while giving it a boost and creating possibilities for new forms of urban living for the adventurous ones.

Based on techniques developed in their furniture design, Tom and Danielle Raffield used steam-bent timber – a traditional way of shaping timber using heat and moisture – to cover the extension to their home, which occupies an old gamekeeper’s lodge.
“We’d never design anything that we wouldn’t have in our own home, but we’d never had a chance to design for our own space before,” said Tom Raffield. “We wanted to build a house with the same consideration and attention to detail we put into our furniture and lighting.”

Jonathan Tuckey overhauled a 19th-century London workshop to create a unique home for his family and their dog. He chose “simple and everyday” materials to rejuvenate the character of the building and added a series of playful elements to suit his children.
“The house provides a variety of spaces that are at once fun for the younger members of the family, while at the same time providing a place of reflection and escape from the surrounding bustling and densely built up London streets,” said the architect.
