The book presents dwellings that transform existing structures in an innovative way.
York House was selected alongside other exciting projects, including environmentalist Peter Bahouth’s three-unit tree house nestled in the Atlanta woods, and the Love Art Studio in Phuket, which is constructed entirely from driftwood.

York House, a revived apartment in central London, demonstrates Patrick Lewis Architects ongoing interest in the use of sustainable materials. The majority of materials for the project were sourced from reclamation yards in Oxfordshire and London; the flooring salvaged from the BBC in White City. As the clients were involved in film & television, the found materials poetically connected to their lives.
Renovate Innovate is the culmination of author, Antonia Edwards’, interest in projects which find creative and sustainable solutions to architecture, bringing beauty to our everyday lives, while reducing our impact on the planet.
It is hoped that the book’s international sampling of stunning new buildings and renovations will inspire readers, designers, architects, and dreamers alike to reimagine lived-in spaces.
