Corbett's House

A bold and colourful transformation of a terraced house in South London’s Corbett Estate by nimtim architects, creating a bright and joyous home for the client and their family. The works created a new family space at ground and a master bedroom suite at loft level.

The existing house was in poor condition however it had clearly been a well loved family home which nimtim and the client recognised and valued. Nimtim's proposal therefore deliberately referenced colours and materials from the existing house and reinvented them as something appropriate for a contemporary family home. Rather than erasing the character and history of the house, they were able to continue the story of the house into its new incarnation.
