Arch House - Polysmiths
In the leafy East London suburb of Wanstead, a typical terraced house has been given a new
lease of life by Polysmiths. Captured by the owners’ British and Gibraltar roots, Polysmiths employed various architectural
and material design strategies that refine open-plan living, using structural arches to create a series of interconnected
spaces for flexible live/work - all achieved within a tight budget and time frame.
The result is a low-waste, sustainable renovation that balances the buzz of modern London life with textures and warmth of
the Mediterranean, with the owners saying they feel they are ‘on holiday every day’.
