An Edwardian Revival: Playful Elegance by Zulufish
PROJECTS 01.04.25
Zulufish’s transformation of this Edwardian family home in West London is a renovation reimagined. Rich in colour, character and craft, the project takes the architectural grace of a 1920s detached house and infuses it with spirited modern living. With a considered layout and creative flair, Zulufish has created a home that feels both timeless and entirely of the moment.
Working closely with bespoke joinery studio HUX London and interior design firm Hide & Seek, Zulufish more than doubled the home’s square footage, carefully navigating conservation area constraints to deliver a basement level, loft conversion, and lateral expansions. And yet, nothing feels excessive. Each space has a purpose. Every element, a story.
The entrance opens into a bright reception room where sculptural lighting, playful pops of orange, and tactile furnishings create an atmosphere that’s as welcoming as it is design-led.
In the dining room, a handcrafted timber table anchors the space beneath a spectacular glass-ball chandelier—a vibrant installation that floats playfully above.
Crittall-style doors connect the room to the garden beyond, blending inside and out with fluidity. The colours here are bold but never brash, grounded in natural materials and a tactile rug that softens the geometry of the space.
