A family house "joyfully transformed" with terracotta-coloured extensions has been named London's best home improvement project by Don't Move, Improve! 2024.

The house renovation by local studio Emil Eve Architects, named Aden Grove, has been selected as the overall winner of the annual award from a shortlist of 16 projects.

It was praised by this year's jury for its playful use of colour while also providing a "purposeful and functional" space for the family that lives there.

"Aden Grove has been joyfully transformed by Emil Eve Architects," said jury member Ellie Stathaki.

"It's a family home so it was redesigned to be purposeful and functional in order to serve its residents' everyday needs, while also ensuring sustainability considerations are taken into account," she continued.

"At the same time, the external terracotta skin visually signals the refresh and its new elements, while wrapping the home in a natural material and playful colour that brings on a smile."

Now in its 14th year, Don't Move Improve! Awards is an annual competition held by New London Architecture (NLA) to celebrate the best home improvement projects from across the UK's capital.

This year's winner Aden Grove was revamped by Emil Eve Architects with loft and rear extensions that are characterised by angular forms, large windows and terracotta tiles.
