Balancing Heritage and Modern Living in an Edwardian Terrace  Architectural Design and Build by: Zulufish Interior Design by Purple Design Location: London  This four-storey Edwardian terrace in Ravenscourt Park has been extensively reworked by Zulufish through a comprehensive design and build approach. With a substantial basement extension, multiple infill additions and a roof extension, the project significantly increases both space and light, transforming a traditional period house into a contemporary family home.  Extending the Existing Footprint  The original house offered strong proportions but limited usable space for modern living.
