PREVIOUS PROPERTY ‘I was living and working in Paris before relocating to London,’ says Maya.

When jewellery designer and teacher Maya Hendrix relocated to London from Paris with her daughter Nina, 10, she moved into a handsome London townhouse that required little renovation – or so she thought. ‘At first it didn’t seem like there was much to do,’ says Maya. ‘But once I started to peel back the layers, I discovered an awful lot that needed updating. The electrics and plumbing were due an upgrade and there was damp in the basement. I thought, “OK, if we’re doing that, let’s go for a complete overhaul.”’

Maya didn’t want to tackle the work single-handed, so she enlisted the help of Emilie Mauran, founder of EMR Architecture (emrarchitecture.com), to work with her on the project. ‘I wanted someone with vision who would work collaboratively and I found her in Emilie,’ she says.
