We have transformed a five-bedroom, three-bathroom family home in the heart of Barnes, London, into a light-filled, contemporary residence that celebrates space, craftsmanship, and connection to nature. The project, carried out by Convert-Construction, involved a full home refurbishment and a kitchen extension designed to create an open, inviting environment for modern family living.
Challenges
The main challenge of this project was upgrading and modernising the property while keeping the client’s personality and heritage visible throughout. The design needed to balance contemporary architecture with meaningful personal touches that reflect the family’s story and values.
We integrated many personal elements and symbols of the family, both inside and outside the home. Sculptures, engravings, and bespoke details were thoughtfully placed to create a sense of continuity and identity, ensuring that the modernised home remained deeply connected to its owners’ heritage and character.

The brief was to modernise the property while maintaining a sense of warmth and individuality. The kitchen extension became the heart of the home, featuring glass elements by Vitrosca that flood the space with natural light and open directly onto the landscaped garden. The interior design incorporated natural materials and textures to strengthen the connection to nature, while bespoke joinery was crafted throughout to provide a tailored, elegant finish.
Personal accents, sculptures, and engravings were integrated into the design to reflect the client’s personality and artistic sensibility. Every detail, from the joinery to the choice of finishes, was carefully considered to create a home that feels both refined and deeply personal.
The completed home is a stunning example of modern family living in Barnes. The open-plan kitchen and dining area now flow effortlessly into the landscaped garden, which features a patio, seating and dining area, and a tranquil water feature. Natural light floods the interior, highlighting the bespoke joinery and the carefully curated personal details throughout the home.
The result is a beautifully balanced residence that combines modern design with warmth, craftsmanship, and a strong connection to nature — a true reflection of contemporary living at its finest.
