STUDIOCARVER

About
STUDIOCARVER is an architecture and design practice founded by Keith Carver. Our work ranges from commercial projects to individual homes and bespoke furniture. Across all sectors, from the thrill of engaging with a new design problem, to its detail, construction and completion, is a commitment to finding solutions that are right for the client, their brief and the surroundings. We believe the role of good design is to enhance environments for people. Our approach develops an architecture through observation and investigation; architecture that responds to material, light, environment, and most of all its users. We delight in finding innovations that make each project quietly extraordinary. At the same time we maintain always the core principles of sustainability and good design, ensuring our work remains functional and flexible. STUDIOCARVER encompasses over 15 years of experience in housing, offices, academic buildings and masterplanning. We offer a full range of architectural and design services, from site appraisals and concept designs to guiding complex schemes through the planning process and on to completion. We apply a rigorous eye to quality and detail but most important we pride ourselves on our relationships with our clients. We understand that true success is achieved through client satisfaction and put utmost importance on client engagement through all stages of the design process.

Swiss Cottage House

Swiss Cottage House is a major refurbishment and reconfiguration of a mid-century terraced property in north London. Works include a full basement with sunken patio and an additional second floor level.

The brief was to create a fun, bright and light filled home for our client and their three teenage daughters. The house needed to be flexible in providing intimate spaces for everyone but also be open for regular entertaining.

Even after adding two levels the house is flooded with natural light. It cascades through the large openings and voids in the floorplate all the way down to the basement. Architectural elements such as the folded metal stair and the playful climbing wall accentuate these voids. All this comes together to create an open, bright and welcoming home.
