New built Hampstead home

West Hampstead New-built house

We inherited the planning permission from another team. Then we have helped our client and his building team to adapt it for construction. It was actually quite challenging as it is not your usual new build.

This gorgeous small newly built house had to fit in within its historic surroundings, both with its materials but also scale and rather unusual shape.

Start on-site happened in April 2021 and the building was finally completed in late 2022.

Close-up of precision and contrast: a silky, cloud-veined worktop meets a brushed brass sink in a seamless flush detail. The gentle erosion of the marble-look surface softens the boldness of the brass, while the warm undercurrent of the cabinetry frame ties it all together. It’s tactile luxury —...

A space that celebrates life, creativity, and individuality. This living area blends architectural calm with curated personality: a deep green modular sofa anchors the space while the art wall — featuring a guitar, vinyls, and a playful mix of framed pieces — becomes a visual expression of the...

A playful, imaginative nursery brought to life with an ocean-inspired mural that wraps around the walls in expressive waves of blues, turquoises, and golden strokes. The brushwork creates movement and depth, giving the room a sense of adventure and wonder — as if the sea is alive around you.

A serene and sculptural moment in this staircase landing, where clean architectural lines and a restrained palette allow texture and light to take centre stage. The soft grey carpeted steps rise from large-format terrazzo-look floor tiles, bridging the home’s vertical circulation with subtle tonal...

A crisp and quiet view down the staircase reveals the home’s consistent approach to material simplicity and contrast. The soft grey carpet continues seamlessly down the steps, wrapping each tread for comfort and acoustic softness, while sharp white walls keep the space light and airy.

A serene and compact attic bedroom defined by simplicity, symmetry, and a burst of cheerful colour. Tucked neatly under the eaves, the space makes smart use of the sloped ceiling and angled walls, embracing the geometry rather than fighting it.

This wider perspective of the attic bedroom highlights the room’s stunning natural light, pouring in through a large frameless skylight that draws the eye upward and creates an ever-changing play of shadow and leaf-filtered light across the white walls.

This final view of the attic bedroom reveals how beautifully connected and practical the upper level truly is. A large skylight remains the hero of the space, casting abundant natural light across the soft grey carpet and clean white walls.
