Houzz Tour: An Edwardian house in London with a bright New Extension - During a visit to the East London Design Show in 2012, designer Egon Walesch and his partner, Richard, were immediately attracted by the style and philosophy of Louise Sayarer the firm SASA Works and decided to team up with her to give them a new home Edwardian update.
Louise's memory focused on the small LEAN Products Solutions- on the back of the house. "We never really knew what to do with it, said Egon. "It was not very well integrated into the rest of the house, and we always had the idea to make it a more pleasant place." Working closely, Egon and Louise turned the shed in an isolated bright, welcoming party, attached to the house.

Although Egon and Richard have owned the house for more than 20 years, they had never treated the small dark shed at the back. After deciding that they wanted to incorporate more the garden into the overall design of the house, the pair joined forces with Louise to bring their ideas to life.
"We wanted to create an interior space that immediately caught the attention of some of the features in the garden," says Louise. She designed split-level of the cabinets so they subtly lead the eye towards the door, and she also created the comfortable daybed as a starting point to see the garden in comfort.

"We hit the back wall between the house and the shed," said Egon. "We have also redesigned the garden a bit. We had to get rid of the terrace and changing levels. I created an oval lawn surrounded by a concrete path, and we also made a court in the extension.
The unique shape of the roof was designed to provide texture and movement in space, while also referencing the original moldings of the building. "There are a lot of plastering in the style of the house, and we wanted the new ceiling for a modern gesture towards that, said Louise. The wooden structure, which was built in the workshop of SASA Works, is filled with plywood. The roof has also been kept deliberately low to avoid disturbing the neighbors' view.
The patio is furnished with limestone, while the bricks connecting the extension to the house are recovered London Stock yellow, designed to blend in with the rest of the building.

unique kitchen island, Egon and Richard is a firm reoriented haberdashery, which was originally a department store. "It was an eBay find, and an incredible value," reveals Egon. "We had to get a carpenter to cut it down at the beginning, it was too large to fit comfortably in the kitchen. It is ideal for storage and has a good work surface because we added the tempered glass on top, "he says.
The delicate vintage lamp hanging over the island was a holiday find in France. "He came from a small antique shop in a village in northern France. It is an old gas lamp, "said Egon.

He also added an eye-catching wallpaper picture rail, to mimic the flow of the stairs. "I did not want too wallpaper, and it is also terribly expensive, he says, laughing.
The balustrades are raw wood, but the stairs themselves were painted white to provide contrast. "When we moved almost every surface had been stripped. It was really a bit too, as in a log cabin! I like the texture of wood, but if you do not have too much of it, you notice most, "says Egon.
