WEST HAMPSTEAD FAMILY HOUSE

We were commissioned in 2008 to transform a large Victorian semi-detached property, which had been converted into flats in 1947, back into a family house with a small self-contained basement flat.

The work to the front elevation mainly involved thorough restoration and cleaning of the brickwork and terracotta detailing, and the insertion of some new windows at the lower levels.
Project Year: 2012
Project Cost: £750,001 - £1,000,000
Country: United Kingdom

At the rear, a dilapidated brick scullery and conservatory above were demolished to make way for a contemporary two storey extension. This is constructed of rendered masonry with structural glass 'boxes' in front and on top incorporating 'Sky Frame' sliding doors.

The extension, situated half a level beneath the main living floors, provides the addition space required for a large modern kitchen/dining area at the lower level and a 'media room' above. It also generally connects the house with the re-landscaped garden and terrace.

We worked closely with Mowlem & Co on the kitchen design and layout (see the article in the press section) which, as well as affording practical and efficient workspace, acts as a pivot between the traditional and modern parts of the house.

The same limestone flooring runs throughout the kitchen, dining area and terrace, thereby maximising the connection with the garden and increasing the illusion of space.

One of our clients' main requirements was to improve the circulation between the kitchen/dining area and the living room, half a level above, whilst retaining some separation.

One of the real joys of this project was the restoration and refurbishment of the original staircase after many decades of subdivision.

The media room and the adjacent roof terrace enjoy a close connection an excellent views of the rear garden. A plasma TV set and low-level walnut cabinetry are located on one side and blackout blinds are set into ceiling recesses.

Above the kitchen, one end of the media room extends into a glazed extension with Sky Frame sliding windows and doors and powder-coated aluminium parapets and fascias. A small roof terrace is located between the extension and the roof of the living room bay window.

The master suite occupies much of the first floor and enjoys views to the front and rear. Discreet flush white-painted wardrobe doors line the dressing area, enlivened by walnut-lined mirrored door openings to the landing, bathroom and principal wardrobes.

The master bathroom is located at the front of the house and is accessed from the dressing area via a sliding mirrored door with walnut reveals. The wall-mounted vanity unit is formed of a black granite counter and walnut cabinetry, with a matching medicine cabinet above.

It was quite a feat for the builder, Len Developments, to correctly align the horizontal grain in the stone, The end result is certainly very dramatic.
