Pastel stripes and no door handles: How the architects of Kettner's Townhouse designed their own minimal family home.

They say you shouldn’t bring your work home with you. Architects Russell Potter and Laura Sanjuan took this adage seriously – and literally – when they embarked on the transformation of their three-floor Victorian townhouse in Clapham, south London, where they live with their two children, Isabella and Oscar. 

The couple are known for their designs of Soho House branches in Greek Street and at nearby Kettner’s Townhouse. The latter is characterised by a dark, decadent look packed with tweeds and marble; the couple’s  first personal project at home could not be more different. 

With its bright white looks and large sliding glass door, they have been asked more than once if their goal was to create an homage to a cool Ibiza villa. “That wasn’t the plan,” says Sanjuan. “But we can see why people ask.”
