Victorian House in Hampstead Heath, North-West London, NW3
restoration : extension : interior design : bespoke furniture
Conservation Area
Used as student accommodation for many years, this house was in need
of complete restoration and modernisation, before once again becoming
a family home. As well as updating the essential services in the house,
our client wanted us to create two extra bedrooms and enhance the
living area, by remodelling the layout of the existing building and
forming a two-storey, rear extension.
Working within a restricted budget, our designs focussed on elegant,
yet cost-effective, solutions. Our prudent space-planning minimised
expensive demolitions, and we carefully selected finishing materials
and components appropriate to the status of each room, adopting
a more utilitarian approach where feasible.
We developed the rear extension with a modernist design, allowing
for a more economical construction process. This contemporary treatment
balances harmoniously with the period styling of the original building
and is ideal for modern family living. The bespoke, fitted furniture
in the kitchen and living areas enhances the period character of
the house.
