“There is something very special about sharing the joy you take in your home with others. When we refurbished the house, we designed it so that the rooms could evolve and change as our needs did. The extension was designed as a communal place for a family to come together. We have loved the messages from guests saying how much their families have enjoyed and used the space.”
Sarah, Host of a townhouse with courtyards & garden in London
