Archmongers has transformed Elemental House in London, United Kingdom.

Elemental House is a transformation of a London home, a 1970s split-level house located in Hackney.

Untouched since the '70s, the house retains its original structural integrity, featuring robust masonry, timber framework and exposed concrete elements.

The renovation has future-proofed the house for modern living, enhancing its energy efficiency while bringing natural light deep into the plan.

The design scheme employs a simple palette of existing materials including brick, galvanised steel, cast concrete and timber.

Archmongers' approach is underpinned by a commitment to using honest, exposed materials and traditional wood joinery, ideal for upgrading existing UK housing stock to meet contemporary needs while minimising long-term maintenance.

This project has been longlisted in the house renovation category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
