‘Oh What A Ceiling!’ ingeniously transformed a tired mid-century brick veneer house into a suburban oasis for a multigenerational family. Our clients, Gabby and Peter, came to us with a desire to reimagine their ageing home such that it could better cater to their modern lifestyles, accommodate those of their adult children and grandchildren, and provide a more intimate and meaningful connection with their garden. The renovation would reinvigorate their home and allow them to re-engage with their passions for cooking and sewing, and explore their skills in the garden and workshop.

Under a fully automated bio-climatic pergola, a dining area and outdoor kitchen have been created on a raised composite deck. The kitchen is fully equipped with SubZero Wolf appliances, outdoor pizza oven, warming drawer, barbecue and sink, with a granite worktop. Heaters and screens help to keep the party going into the evening, as well as lights incorporated into the pergola, whose slats can open and close electronically. A decorative screen creates an enhanced backdrop and ties into the pattern on the 'decorative rug' around the firebowl.

Cette villa contemporaine a été pensée pour jouer avec les dénivelés du terrain et créer de nombreux espaces de vies extérieurs. L'espace repas au premier étage domine le jardin avec une vue plongeante sur la piscine.

80 Charlotte Street is a major mixed-use development in the heart of London’s Fitzrovia redeveloped by Overbury Plc. This regenerated building occupies an urban block with the adjacent Asta House, delivering over 320,000ft₂ of workspace, 55 new apartments, a café, a restaurant and the new Poets Park on Chitty Street. 
 The main block was originally built in the 1960’s as the Post Office headquarters with the new building now three floors higher than the original. This takes the building from 7 to 10 storeys high and now links the floors to make one building, now 90m square. The architecture imaginatively combines the existing fabric of the building with new-build elements and is characterised by the various facade treatments and terraces. The new levels are set back to reduce the size, providing the terraces with unrivalled views over Fitzrovia, the nearby BT Tower, and out towards the City and the river. Europlanters worked closely with MA design and Barton Willmore Landscape Architects to design and build more than 300 large planters, which created the planting beds and 45m of seating for the new terraces. 
 The intregrated benches were precisely cut to curve at the corners and were made from sapele timber.
 The GRP planters and benches were finished to compliment the building exterior and the timber decking. Each of the planting beds were then superbly planted up by Oasis Plants. The ground floor has been designed to act as more than a commercial reception, offering space for tenants to use for events and social activities. 
 An island café-bar caters for both tenants and the public, while tenants and guests can also take a dedicated lift to the roof terrace, where a second bar benefits from stunning views across North London and the City.

The deck was originally a tired and underutilized space that didn’t live up to its potential. With its position perfectly suited for soaking up sunshine and enjoying the outdoors, it was clear this area needed a thoughtful upgrade to transform it into an inviting, functional retreat. The Transformation The entire deck was stripped of old, weathered materials, making way for fresh, durable decking that instantly modernized the space. The design was extended to create more room for outdoor activities, while new steps and a platform enhanced accessibility and flow. To complete the look, a relocated balustrade was added, allowing for unobstructed views of the surrounding environment. The entire area was reclad to ensure a polished and cohesive finish that matched the home's renewed charm. The Result The newly transformed deck is now a beautiful and versatile outdoor haven. It’s ideal for hosting lively gatherings, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or simply unwinding in nature. The fresh, modern design seamlessly blends aesthetics and functionality, creating an outdoor area that truly complements the rest of the home. This deck is more than just an extension of the house—it’s a space that brings people together and enhances everyday living.
