For Livingetc's first-ever House of the Year, London-based studio A New Day’s project in Highgate was a unanimous winner. On judging day, I was immediately drawn to the colors; Sarah Spiteri noticed how well zoned, and therefore how good for families it was; while Emma Breislin and Hugh Metcalf were both impressed by various details, such as the beaten metal edging of the desk in the entryway and the way the wasabi granite was painstakingly cut around the power outlets in the kitchen backsplash.
In short, not only is this house absolutely bursting with ideas (already making it the perfect Livingetc home), but it’s also an incredibly well-considered space made specifically so that its family could easily live the lives they wanted to lead.
