Bradley Van Der Straeten Architects

Based in London, Bradley Van Der Straeten Architects designs residential extensions and house interiors defined by expressive geometric thresholds, exposed structural steel, and vibrant color accents set against refined joinery. The work serves as a strong reference for detailing seamless glass corners, integrating painted structural elements through arched masonry openings, and balancing heritage details with graphic tilework in domestic dining and circulation spaces.

Geometry
An open-plan rectangular living area featuring a bay window zone on the right and large gallery-style blank walls to the left for displaying oversized artwork.
