BEFORE & AFTER “A challenging project from the start, the designer of this early 1900s townhouse reimagined the home with a series of special details, including a hidden kitchen and a yoga room in the garden.
Nestled in the heart of London’s Little Venice — a calming stretch of canals filled with narrowboats and water cafés — this once-dark early-1900s townhouse is now a beautiful, light-filled home that is as surprising as it is tranquil.
