The duo take a holistic approach to making houses into homes and apply that same principle to their own south London abode, where they’ve lived for 7 years.
The pair’s Victorian home was built in 1870 and was updated in the 1970s. They chose to use elements of design from both of those decades, embracing period features at the front of the house, moving into more modernist influenced spaces, complete with nods to the deco revival of the ‘70s as well as the Memphis movement.
Jordan and Russell say, “we gave ourselves creative freedom here to design spaces that made us happy”.
“As designers we are often working to tight deadlines, and we wanted this project to have plenty of breathing space to evolve”, they tell Euro news Culture, adding, “it has taken 5 years or so to get the house interior we want. When we moved in the house needed total refurbishment, with rotten sash windows, a leaky roof, and no central heating, so it has been a big project. We have loved designing it, but it has not been without its challenges.”
They’ve managed to push through and overcome any hurdles, using creative solutions and ending up with exactly the home they set out to make.
