Pernille Lind Transforms North London Family Home
Pernille Lind, the founder of Pernille Lind Studio, has completed a stunning renovation of a family home in north London. The project, a collaboration with McGuinness Architects and contractors Beam Development, has resulted in a stunning blend of Victorian and mid-century styles, with a new modern wraparound extension.
The home's design aims to balance coziness and sophistication, creating a warm, autumnal atmosphere that Pernille believes will always remain. Effective lighting was a key part of the design, with a focus on creating mood and atmosphere. Lighting ideas included hanging chandeliers with a mid-century aesthetic and decorative lighting at lower levels.
Pernille designed the kitchen cabinets in teak-stained oak to add texture and character to the home. These cabinets echo the bespoke storage found in other areas, contributing to the seamless interplay of eras that characterises the redesigned home. The design features a palette of dark-toned timber and rich, autumnal shades, with materials such as marbles, woven wallpaper, bespoke joinery, and decorative glass used throughout.
Bauwerk limewash was used in some areas of the new extension, and gloss finishes were applied to woodwork in the original part of the house. The shimmering fireplace surround clad in zellige tiles is another example of introducing modern elements seamlessly. Pernille believes that the use of materials like timber, marble, brass, woven rattan, mohair, and velvet evoke a sense of permanence and authenticity.
When surrounded by surfaces that have been crafted and honed by hand, we are subtly reminded of a time before modern technology. The clients embraced this philosophy, with the use of natural materials such as timber, marble, brass, woven rattan, mohair, and velvet intended to instill a sense of longevity.
The collaboration resulted in a wraparound extension that added a games room, cinema room, boot room, and laundry area. The home's design was planned to feel contemporary while integrating classic elements and traditional furniture. Pernille was struck by the home's leafy setting and its beautiful red brick exterior during her first visit, and she has certainly succeeded in transforming it into a truly unique and timeless space.
