This immaculate semi-detached three-bedroom house in Borough, London, has been subject to a creative redesign in recent years by Barbara Spano of ExtrArchitecture. A minimalist, understated aesthetic prevails due to a neutral palette and considered approach to materials, which include ash, brass and reeded glass. A private enclosed courtyard bordered by leafy climbing plants leads seamlessly from the living area. The house is wonderfully located only a few minutes walk from Borough Market and the bustling Bermondsey street, with its excellent food, drink and arts scene.
