Broomwood
Award winning new build house project in Wandsworth, London, designed and built by Minale + Mann.
Design Brief
Broomwood is a Victorian Terrace home renovation and re-build project located between Wandsworth and Clapham Commons.
The design brief for the project was to re-establish the elegance of the original house, whilst simultaneously maximizing its space to suit the needs of a large growing family. The design approach was centered around the introduction of refined industrial aesthetics, set alongside historically symbolic design references of the Victorian era.
The project involved a full demolition and re-build of the existing house, creating a luxury new build home with a subterranean basement extension below the entire ground floor footprint, and a new loft extension and side return to maximise the overall footprint above ground.
Design Details
Exposed steel elements and bespoke made zinc clad interior features, were used to express the internal structure of the building, and pay homage to British industrial manufacturing detailing techniques. Frame-less glass windows are juxtaposed against the solid metal structures to create visual contrast.
The kitchen was designed in collaboration with MannMade London. The units are made from Valchromat with metal edging, and the island has a granite top with zinc clad units below. The bespoke zinc-clad unit has a dual-function feature, that doubles as the kitchen island, and as the structure continues into the living space forms a built-in study unit.
Interior Design
Each floor of the house was reconfigured with a new and contemporary layout.
The first and second floors were transformed to create a master suite, children’s bedroom, guest bedroom, bathroom and a study.
The ground floor is open-plan and features our signature refined industrial aesthetic., An exposed steel ribbon staircase leads from the kitchen to the basement extension. Here, there is a large entertainment space, personal gym, guest room and en-suite facilities
Furniture Design
Bespoke furniture is integral to the interior decoration and layout of the space.
Pieces include handmade shelving and bespoke sideboard cabinets made of ash and brass. All furniture is designed and made by MannMade London.
Textiles were chosen to introduce warmth, colour and softness to the scheme.
