Cloudesdale Road, Balham
Located in Balham, a desirable residential area in South London, the owners of this end-of-terrace Victorian family home got in touch with Home Republic to deliver some much-needed TLC to their property.
In this project, we focused our expertise and resources entirely on the ground floor, with the family safely and conveniently in situ upstairs during our work.
With a team of six, and over a period of approximately seven months, we’re pleased to say that we transformed our clients’ home into a light, airy idyll — perfect for contemporary life, and fully designed and built to suit the needs of a family.
Here, we worked in close partnership with an award-winning architectural practice entirely to renovate the kitchen area, the front room and the garden.
This residential project was completed entirely within Covid-19 guidelines.

Our Remit
As we always do (and in fact, this is one of our key points of difference) Home Republic engaged with our clients early on in the process.
We took the time carefully to consider the concepts and the design of the proposed scheme. Home Republic needed to ensure that everything could be planned and executed with maximum use of our resources. Likewise, the best possible collaboration with our working partners.
The aim was to re-design, re-model, demolish and re-construct the whole of the ground floor. Our client was after a best-of-both-worlds outcome: a balance between modern, streamlined 21st style, and the spacious, imposing Victorian splendour of times gone by.
What We Did
Within safe construction parameters, we knocked everything down — and started again!
Working to the architect’s design brief, we refurbished the existing living room, and built an additional living space, as well as a guest toilet. Plus, the star of the show: a large, totally stunning wrapround rear extension for the family’s new kitchen and dining area.
Finally, we’re pleased to report that courtesy of Home Republic, our client also has newly landscaped garden, complete with a comfortable outdoors seating area, and a patio for BBQs.
In this project, there were several outstanding key features, including a substantial investment in glazing to allow natural light to shine in wherever possible. Indeed, a beautiful glass roof in the kitchen is now one of the highlights in this lovely family home.
High-end roof covering elevates the general appearance; there are cleverly designed, inset, recessed door frames that offer a sleek streamlined look.
The bespoke kitchen was sprayed by our team, precisely to the colour that the client wanted.
The Result
A striking, visually impressive yet totally liveable ground floor area that the client simply adores. Constructed to the highest possible standards, everything «works», with each area easily accessible, practical and a joy to be in.
