Instant inspiration for that major new year renovation.
New London Architecture's prestigious ‘Don’t Move, Improve!’ award honours emerging architectural practices that understand the importance of innovative design in a city where space is at a premium.
Having unveiled the shortlist earlier this month, the winners have just been announced, with Chapel by Craftswork crowned the overall winner of Don’t Move, Improve! 2019. A further 10 projects were also recognised and awarded by the jury.
Significant 2019 trends include indoor/outdoor spaces, use of wood and natural materials, inter-connected spaces, statement ceilings and colourful structures. From rear and side extensions to kitchens (all with interiors refits), here are the winning house extension designs and those that made the shortlist. Prepare to be inspired...
