Houzz Tour: A Victorian Terrace West London is totally transformed - From the outside, this looks like a Victorian house smart, but otherwise ordinary, comparable architecture to millions of others that characterize so much English streets, give or take the odd return side or loft.
But as for having these ubiquitous alterations, this ingeniously designed home has also been cleverly enlarged interior and restructured to create more space you usually want to get with only these two changes . The house has also now higher ceilings, larger rooms and a collection of features are to be expected in a house that was bigger to start, including a laundry room; two rooms full bath / shower; Underground storage for bikes, strollers and trays; a downstairs WC, and an elegant study / home theater - not a mega-ground view. Phew. How did they fit it all in?
"We pretty much took down the house completely, leaving just the front and side walls, and rebuilt in the same footprint, the flight five centimeters by five from there and expansion of space, "says designer Reuben Spiring. He removed the large chimney breasts, put in a brand new staircase and skylights, windows added and a cathedral ceiling in the spare room, custom designed to let light flood. He also tactically added mirrors to further deceive the eye into seeing more space, and the ground was lowered enough to create the kind of more in harmony with ceiling heights Georgian houses.
"The very rich people dig these large basements," said Ruben, and what they put there? We provided all without digging. We think we have been smart to squeeze so much into a smaller home. - It is certainly thrown a few people

This is interesting exposed brick in the kitchen were taken from the original fireplaces, all of which were removed in the renovation
this room has a visual clue to the meaning of luxury of space in this house. One of the team Ruben Spiring ways expanded the space here was removing all the chimneys. Although the direction of a breast of the fireplace remains, the slimline projection is purely decorative and the fire can not be used.
If you want more space in a small property, said Ruben, you have to lose a number of things. This was one of them - in small houses, every little detail makes the difference. And you can still have a bio-ethanol fire there, "he added.
The forward-looking elegant cabinets are from Ikea. Ruben cabinetmaker personalized size, and added new handles for a custom look. The finish is a great match for the US flooring white oak, which Reuben bought unfinished, before oiling all by hand with oil Osma. "It feels better than a factory finish sprayed, he said.

'with just a loft or a back side, "said Ruben, you can never go too far and a little house will always feel a little pokey. as such, the most dramatic expansion of space came upright, and ceiling heights were raised on each floor.
Reuben succeeded in digging the foundations and the installation of new concrete floors, insulated and heated, but much thinner than the originals. This added around 40cm to the overall interior height, allowing ceilings 2.5m (average in a terrace like this, Reuben said, is about 2.3m or 2.4m, and as low as 2m in a standard loft this often reduces the height of the ceiling of the room below).
The underfloor heating also means that there is no space heaters suck in all rooms.

use mirrors to increase the space is such a classic interior design stuff that I was almost reluctant to do it, "said Ruben, with a wry laugh.

the great room luxurously has a bath and a walk-in shower. The unusual staggered tile in the shower area was "a nightmare" to put on, according to Ruben, and get involved tiles cut to different widths and different thickness using adhesive levels and waiting for one lot only to set before the next. "You can buy ready-made panels like this, he said," a lot easier!
