The Local Project

Project Feature • Sanders & King thoughtfully reimagines a 1930s maisonette, transforming its formerly compartmentalised layout into a cohesive, light-filled family home. The designer reconfigures the internal plan from a previous renovation, replacing a maze-like design with an open series of spaces that prioritise flow and ease of movement.
