PREVIOUS PROPERTY ‘We lived in a similar property in the local area,’ says Lucy.

Adaptable and striking were the inspiration points for Lucy and Conor Fitzgerald’s renovation of their Victorian home. A buzzing family with three boys aged between eight and 12, the Fitzgeralds set out with the goal to make their forever home a space as unique as they are. ‘We weren’t looking for a top-to-bottom refurbishment, but we wanted to improve flow and eliminate dead space,’ says Lucy. To stay true to the original period features, architects Fraher & Findlay were brought on board to rework the space, renovating the loft to allow for en-suite bedrooms for two of the children. The challenges associated with removing the roof paid off, rewarding the family with views of the west London skyline from their newly installed roof deck.
