Colin Hecht House
Residential refurbishment and glazed roof pavilion
Client: Sam Hecht and Kim Colin
St John’s Wood, London, 2003

Turner Castle were appointed to transform a small 1930’s garage into a bright spacious family home for product designers Kim Colin and Sam Hecht and their toddler son, Josh.

The scheme retains the elegant 1930’s curved glass windows and the original parquet floor, introducing floor to ceiling white sprayed painted cupboards which cleverly conceal all clutter.

Following Hecht’s mantra that “less is everything” the scheme is very spacious and achieves a restrained aesthetic whilst maximizing every inch of space with adaptable storage solutions.

Arranged with a small collection of perfectly formed modernist furniture, the scheme of white walls and clean lines maximises natural light to achieve a quiet beauty.
