Text description provided by the architects. Maison Colbert is a family home for Philip Colbert, artist, and Charlotte Colbert, writer, and filmmaker. It’s also a venue for exhibitions, with space to create, produce and run their commercial operations and welcome guests to be immersed in their world, surrounded by works of art. The project repurposes a semi-derelict terrace of five four-story houses – ‘mean dwellings’, according to the historian, Nikolaus Pevsner – in Spitalfields, close to the City of London and the busy street markets of Petticoat Lane and Middlesex Street.
