Magnus Englund, the Swedish design expert and co-founder of Scandinavian furniture retailer Skandium, lives in the Grade I-listed Isokon Building in Belsize Park, north London, and has become its unofficial custodian. He is a hoarder of all things Isokon, the London-based company formed in 1929 to design modernist houses and flats and the fixures and furniture to go in them. He has also been a champion behind the Isokon Gallery, dedicated to the extraordinary history of the building where he lives. The gallery opened in the block's former garage on the ground floor three years ago. "I absolutely love living here, it has become part of my life", says Englund, 50, who moved to the UK in 1995 to pursue a career in fashion, working first for Paul Smith, then Patrick Cox, before opening the first Skandium store in Marylebone in 1999.

He has also been a champion behind the Isokon Gallery, dedicated to the extraordinary history of the building where he lives. The gallery opened in the block's former garage on the ground floor three years ago. "I absolutely love living here, it has become part of my life", says Englund, 50, who moved to the UK in 1995 to pursue a career in fashion, working first for Paul Smith, then Patrick Cox, before opening the first Skandium store in Marylebone in 1999.

FEATURE - Stephen Davies' Haus steht auf kleinstem Platz in London
From the terrace of their house on a tiny plot, a Lewisham couple spied the perfect spot down the road for a new project. Grit, determination and tramping round the streets in all weathers every weekend for 18 months isn't everyone's idea of fun, but that's how Stephen Davies found the ridiculously small triangular plot of land in south-east London where he built his first house. And he has just built a second one in the same street. Davies, 38, an architect, knew that the search for land would be hard. "Right from the start there were bigger players than me out there", he says. But he had always wanted to build his own home, so he kept plodding on. Seriously methodical, Davies stuck a map on the wall and crossed out expensive areas. All of north London vanished in this way, so he focused his search south of the river, and on Lewisham in particular. One day in 2008, he passed a little plot at the end of a terrace, overlooking the Quaggy river, with an old garage sitting on it. He traced its owner, who was retired and based in Bristol, and made him an offer in a letter. The owner agreed to sell.

FEATURE - Stephen Davies' Haus steht auf kleinstem Platz in London
From the terrace of their house on a tiny plot, a Lewisham couple spied the perfect spot down the road for a new project. Grit, determination and tramping round the streets in all weathers every weekend for 18 months isn't everyone's idea of fun, but that's how Stephen Davies found the ridiculously small triangular plot of land in south-east London where he built his first house. And he has just built a second one in the same street. Davies, 38, an architect, knew that the search for land would be hard. "Right from the start there were bigger players than me out there", he says. But he had always wanted to build his own home, so he kept plodding on. Seriously methodical, Davies stuck a map on the wall and crossed out expensive areas. All of north London vanished in this way, so he focused his search south of the river, and on Lewisham in particular. One day in 2008, he passed a little plot at the end of a terrace, overlooking the Quaggy river, with an old garage sitting on it. He traced its owner, who was retired and based in Bristol, and made him an offer in a letter. The owner agreed to sell.
