PROJECT OVERVIEW

A shared workspace within the first-floor living room. Bespoke storage beneath the loft’s sloping roof. At this home in Muswell Hill, Studio RDN-X explored how furniture and joinery could respond to the character of an existing property while supporting everyday life.

The commission brought together two distinct settings: a living room accommodating space to work, and a loft bedroom requiring a more considered approach to storage. Each proposal responds to its surroundings, connecting the organisation of the room with the detail of the furniture.

WORKING WITHIN THE LIVING ROOM

6 images

THE FIRST-FLOOR LIVING ROOM

In the first-floor living room, the proposed desk sits beside the windows, creating two work positions with access to daylight and views outside.

Its long, slender surface establishes a shared workspace within the domestic setting. Softened corners and a restrained profile give the desk a light presence, while suspended drawer units provide storage close to hand.

The separation between the drawer bodies and the underside of the tabletop makes the construction part of the design. Timber grain, pale finishes and fine metal supports bring warmth and definition to the composition.

The proposal considers how a place to work can sit comfortably within a room also used for living — from its relationship with the windows to the proportions of a drawer and the profile of an edge.

MAKING USE OF THE ROOF SPACE

THE LOFT BEDROOM

In the loft bedroom, the design addresses a different challenge: accommodating useful storage within a constrained roof profile while preserving circulation and access to the eaves.

Plans and sections examine the relationship between the roof slope, existing structural steel, chimney breast and available storage depth. Wardrobe studies bring together hanging space, drawers and shelving, with access to deeper storage considered alongside the visible joinery.

Pull-out elements and mobile storage proposals explore ways of bringing belongings within reach. Integrated lighting illuminates the storage interiors, while restrained external surfaces aim to maintain a calm bedroom setting.

FROM ROOM TO DETAIL

TECHNICAL JOINERY

The project develops through plans, sections, three-dimensional studies and detailed component drawings. Drawer construction, sliding mechanisms, support profiles and castors are investigated as part of how the proposals would function.

Across the living room and loft bedroom, the approach remains consistent: understand the existing space, identify what everyday use requires, and develop the joinery around both.

Technical drawings are shown as design and detailing drawings, not as-built records. Select any drawing to open it at full resolution.

WHAT CLIENTS RECEIVE

This page comes from the initial design concept submission prepared for the client. It shows how the studio sets out the constraints that shape the joinery — here, the eaves storage depth and the space kept clear for suitcases.

Other pages of the submission are not reproduced here. The page records the design thinking at that stage and is not a construction instruction.

THE APPROACH

Rosebery Road demonstrates Studio RDN-X’s approach to interior architecture — finding potential within existing rooms and carrying that thinking through to the furniture, materials and connections that people encounter each day.
