Finsbury House is a residential retrofit and loft extension in north London. The site faces west, capturing strong afternoon sun, and the scheme opens the existing house to that light without enlarging the footprint.

A north-facing roof terrace is removed to make way for a larger glazed rooflight, drawing daylight down through the plan, with new apertures introduced through the roof, the ground floor and the bathroom. A loft extension adds space above, with a Juliet balcony to the rear. Internally, the palette is calm: wood and tones of concrete.

Planning was granted in May 2026, secured by challenging the council's initial feedback in a working relationship with the planning team that remained constructive throughout. The scheme came through in full.
