William Smalley Renovates Bloomsbury Home Blending Ancient and Modern

Architect William Smalley has completed a renovation of a home in Bloomsbury that mixes ancient and modern elements while deliberately eschewing perfection, according to a Financial Times report. The project, described as a Zen renovation, is said to stretch time, with the updated residence revealing the hand of its makers. The home is located in Bloomsbury, a district in London, England. The renovation combines historical and contemporary approaches within the same dwelling. The design intentionally avoids flawless finishes, allowing the traces of those who built and worked on the house to remain visible. The Financial Times published the account at https://www.ft.com/content/2a37a33b-0f9b-4763-9971-67ddfd402920. No completion date, client name, project cost, or additional collaborators were disclosed in the available source material.
