We are delighted to share that ‘Discovered House’ has been shortlisted for this year's London RIBA awards! We are in great company this year, diverse projects of all scales across the city, and to see our domestic work on the same list as some of London’s large scale new architecture.

Our clients were downsizing to a 3-bedroom early-Victorian house as their final home. Although re-worked in the 1990’s, the property lacked practicality, coherence, connectivity, lightness or heart.

By stripping back the rear and side extensions, we ‘discovered’ the old house. We floated away a new family room – a timber-structured wildflower-covered lid with glazing horizontally meeting the old wall and generous sliding glass to the garden. A deep reworking of the house allowed levelled and widened ground floor circulation, significantly improved insulation, underfloor heating, rainwater harvesting and a solar array.

Our happy clients wrote:
“The project was challenging – a delicate balance between maintaining the original charm and character of our home, reworking a dingy existing extension and moving to create a light, modern and functional space that would accommodate our family. Robert Dye Architects approached this with sensitivity and creativity, respecting the existing structure while reimagining the possibilities of the space. The design is both contemporary and timeless, incorporating innovative solutions that enhance the usability and aesthetic of the house without compromising its original integrity.”

Hampstead Lane, Highgate
Two phase top-to-bottom renovation of two maisonettes. A new lease of life for this tiered property: insulation, solar panels, air source heat pump. We’ve completed the lower flat and our client has recently moved in, with a small concert space on the upper ground floor for her Salon music series, going well!
