Kate and Ewan Thompson approached the firm to extend and re-furbish their Victorian terraced house in Shepherd’s Bush for a growing family and they were clearly successful at transforming this space into an open, family-friendly nest.

McLaren Excell is a design-led architecture practice based in Chelsea, Central London. The practice is co-directed by Luke McLaren and Robert Excell, working primarily on private residential and commercial projects.
