Step inside the home of Helen Arvanitakis, director of London’s new Design District at Greenwich Peninsula. As Helen opens the door to her reconfigured Victorian family home in Hammersmith, a space filled with modernist and contemporary design, she reflects on the nature of a post-pandemic home, from the changing relationship we have with our kitchen tables to the need for a sense of conviviality and fun.

Helen speaks beautifully of how a true home should feel. Her house is absolutely stunning, warm and full of life… a true work of art and love!

Agree with her the measure of success of your home is about people enjoying it and having a goo time.

The view to the garden is stunning. And though the house is design conscious, it is a home that she and her family loves and not a show home.

This is one of my favourite house tours. I'm not usually drawn to modern but this is done so warmly and beautifully. Lovely x

I'm about to start looking for a space of my own (+cat) and you have put pretty much described what I'm looking to create. This last 18 months has made us all rethink how we work and use our home spaces for the considerable future. You have created a beautiful space. Thank you for sharing!

Love what you've done... stunningly unique, but so cozy at the same time. Bravo!

I love the house. I love the desk by the window. Helen is right about how we live and work post-Covid. I am in the process of turning my 2nd bedroom into a home office/walk in. I also have a desk in the hallway, by my books. If I'm working from home up to 3 days per week, the way I work at home (and my comfort in doing so); has to make sense.

I like the use of wood throughout the house and I love the big doors and view to the garden.

Disheartened by the haters. Lovely person and home - enjoyed getting to hear more about how she thinks when putting her home together. Not all choices would be mine, but good for her (not for me). More of this post pandemic home stuff please!

The outward opening doors to the garden look unwieldy in opening and could be positively hazardous in typical windy winter weather conditions

@archid77, Hello! I looked & kept backing up the video & determined they were of pools with one person with his back to us on the piece on the right. I think both had buildings of some sort far in the background. I like to hear where people get their art & why the pieces appealed to them. I do not need to know what they do for a living, which is the point at which this video began. She also had her books on a single shelf by the ceiling where they were out of reach. The whole set-up just wasn't for me.

Great way to put it "Genie is out of the Bottle" to pay all the money and not be able to actually LIVE in the home only prepare to GO live 9+ hours in somewhere else...2020 has made us look at LIVING differently...accident or not it is now on the table.
