In Parsons Green, EMR Architecture transformed Clancarty House into a contemporary family residence, carefully balancing heritage with modern living. The property was taken back to brick and extended on multiple levels: a loft and pod with access to a generous terrace overlooking the park, as well as new side and rear kitchen extensions framed by Crittall-style sliding doors.
The front façade, originally painted, was restored to exposed brick, giving the house a refined and timeless street presence. Inside, the layout was completely reworked to accommodate a family of six, with clever storage integrated throughout and design features that enhance both practicality and elegance.
One of the client’s key concerns was aircraft and neighbour noise. EMR responded with extensive acoustic insulation, ensuring a quiet and comfortable home environment despite the urban setting. Modern technologies further enhance the property: an advanced audio sound system and a home cinema bring entertainment seamlessly into family life.
Clancarty House is a testament to EMR Architecture’s ability to combine technical expertise with thoughtful design — a home that feels robust, refined and perfectly suited for modern family living in Fulham.

Emilie is a fantastic listener and consistently went the extra mile to come up with innovative solutions. She has an amazing vision for space and a keen eye for detail. The end result was absolutely incredible! I can't recommend Emilie and her team highly enough.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A truly wonderful experience with EMR. My first home purchase in the UK, a five bedroom property in Parsons Green. They provided tremendous guidance, creative ideas, rock solid planning applications and relationships with very reputable vendors. Can’t say enough of how lucky we were to engage them. We were referred by our neighbour who had their house on our street done a few years ago.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working alongside Emilie and her team was a game-changer for our Kensington Townhouse renovation. After a frustrating falling out with our initial architect, we found ourselves disheartened and uncertain about the project's future. However, upon being introduced to EMR, our confidence was swiftly restored. Over the course of 18 months, Emilie and her team demonstrated not only their expertise but also their commitment to delivering results. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured that our project stayed on track, both in terms of timeline and budget. The end result was stunning home that exceeded our expectations, thanks to EMR's skillful guidance and execution.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with EMR Architecture for the extensive rebuild of our Victorian home, which we fell in love with despite knowing it needed a lot of work to bring it to the level it deserved, whilst adding valuable space for our family as the kids grow up. We purchased the house during the height of Covid, when in-person meetings and recommendations were very difficult to arrange, and found Emilie through Instagram. We were drawn to her self-belief and high standards from the outset. When we were considering larger architecture practices, Emilie expressed her firm belief that we had to fully trust each other and commit to the long journey ahead for it to work and believe in her. As a family-run practice, we knew from the start that Emilie and her team would go the extra mile and keep it personal. She was also right with her initial view on trust and longevity, as our relationship has now spanned 3.5 years despite a 14-month build time. We took the time to live in the house and get to know it well first while we worked through planning. Emilie is driven, knowledgeable, and very frank, which we absolutely appreciated. She’s cost-focused, which is key on any project, especially during the height of Covid supply issues and high inflation. Alessandro is extremely technical, and, together with the wider team, we always felt fully supported. EMR delivered our project on time, which was no mean feat given its scale, and were instrumental in choosing our builders and working seamlessly with them. We couldn’t have been happier with the end result and the process to get there, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect place for good architecture advice and management.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EMR Team are our long-standing partner, we've delivered many beautiful projects together. They are great designers, solution oriented, client focused and so much fun to work with!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emilie Mauran and her team of Architects renovated and extended (kitchen side return and basement) my house in the Peterborough Estate in Fulham in 2021. I was impressed by the quality of their drawings, they successfully got the planning application in rapidly and then managed everything from Tender to curtains ! They have great taste, are practical, very organised and have a great attention to detail (things I would never spot!...) It was also a very fun team to work with. To summaries a simple process and I now have a beautiful and practical home thanks to the team.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I appointed EMR Architecture to renovate my Grade II listed Victorian home in Notting Hill. From the first meeting to the delivery, the team was super helpful. They managed to get all the planning permissions and that was a very complicated process with a Grade II and then Emilie helped me through all the renovation process to make it as stress free as possible. Emilie and her team listed to all my ideas (as I have strong views on Interiors and strong needs in storage) and managed to deliver a house that truly feels like home. It is practical, with great material choices they advised on, and full of fun and clever storages. Despite the sqm2 addition the house feels bigger and brighter. They have been managing the builder’s team brilliantly through the works and sourced a multiple numbers of skilled suppliers to make my dream come true! I could not recommend them more and would definitely use them for my next projects!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just completed a year long project with EMR Architecture. We were moving from a rented flat to our first house and we had never done any refurbishment in London before so we were completely clueless about the process but we had a budget. While we were searching for architects and contractors, Emilie and her team came highly recommended and it was absolutely the BEST decision that we have made to work with her. She and her team turned an old Victorian house in Fulham to our DREAM home, taking it back to brick, and managing the process incredibly well in 12 months as promised. She was superb in working in our budget, for example when we could not extend the basement, she suggested a wonderful ground floor extension instead which will now be our main living area. She is very creative and has great taste. When we could not extend our loft as we are in the conservation area, she came up with creative solutions to drop the ceiling below to give is more liveable headroom in the loft so we could turn it into an office and a gym. She also has great suppliers and always went to great lengths to get us the best prices. She would guide us on where to spend the money and where to save so we do not waste our budget. She visited the site regularly and was always involved on the chats and emails. She always has oversight on her team so is involved from start to finish. She has fought for us throughout the process whether its getting the best planning permission or getting the suppliers to deliver on time. She is very detail oriented and has an amazing eye for any details or any improvements we can make. I can go on and on about how amazing our experience was with EMR Architecture. I can say wholeheartedly that we could not have done this rebuild without Emilie and her team and she really took all the stress out of the process, from us to her as she takes great pride in her work. My friends always told me that construction is the most stressful and you would be fighting constantly and need to be on top of contractors all the time - well we never had to do any of that. I am surprised to admit that the process was with so minimal stress for a whole year. Emilie and her team at EMR finished our dream home to an extremely high standard on time and on budget - maximising what we could achieve within our budget and going over and beyond from start to finish. Thank you EMR.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emilie is a rare talent. Not only does she have fantastic design skills, but she understands how to translate this into practical living without breaking the bank. We appointed EMR to renovate our terraced house in London, having struggled to find a design that worked with a previous architect. The footprint of the house is small, making it a challenge to fit everything in, but EMR quickly came up with an incredible design that utilised every inch of space whilst still achieving a stunning finish. Oddly enough, it's after the design and planning phase where EMR really come into their own, going above and beyond what we expected from an architect. From the weekly site visits and updates to their incredible rolodex of suppliers, EMR dedicated a huge amount of time to helping us choose the best products and ensuring we got excellent value for money. Emilie and her team worked tirelessly to improve the design and finish, constantly looking to change and improve if they saw a better solution as the build unfolded. EMR more than justify their fees by the additional level of effort that they put into managing the build and helping with the interiors. The build was finished on time and on budget despite a full COVID lockdown along the way. The finished house is everything we hoped it would be and more and we are absolutely delighted with the end result. Knowing what we now know, we would appoint Emilie and her team again in a heartbeat.
