Expert living spaces services in Camden, NW1. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Camden.
Camden's Georgian and Victorian reception rooms possess an elegance and proportion that few modern buildings can replicate. SOM Development renovates these living spaces with meticulous care, restoring original architectural details while introducing contemporary comforts that make these historic rooms a pleasure to live in every day.
The Georgian drawing rooms of Gloucester Crescent, Regent's Park Terrace, and Camden Square feature exceptional ceiling heights, elegant sash windows, and classical plasterwork that create rooms of genuine architectural distinction. Our renovation approach for these spaces is respectful and precise: we repair and restore every original feature, using traditional materials and techniques, then add modern lighting, heating, and technology with the lightest possible touch.
Victorian reception rooms in Kentish Town, Chalk Farm, and Gospel Oak present a warmer, more decorated character—ornate cornicing, tiled fireplaces, and stained-glass fanlights that create richly textured interiors. We preserve and enhance these decorative elements while updating the room's infrastructure and introducing bespoke joinery, contemporary art lighting, and integrated media systems.
For canal-side and conversion properties in Camden, we design living spaces that make a virtue of unconventional proportions—exposed structure, industrial windows, and open-plan layouts that create characterful alternatives to the conventional period reception room.
Camden's living spaces represent some of the finest period domestic architecture in London. Georgian elegance and Victorian decoration coexist within the borough, and each style demands a specific approach to renovation.
Camden Council's conservation policies ensure that the quality of renovation in the borough remains high, and the area's culturally engaged residents appreciate design quality. A well-renovated Camden living space provides a daily experience of architectural beauty combined with modern comfort.
“SOM restored our Georgian drawing room on Camden Square with exquisite attention to detail. The plasterwork, the shutters, the marble fireplace—everything has been brought back to life. And the hidden speakers and lighting are a lovely modern touch.”
