Recently completed remodeling and extension of an existing property in Hampstead, creating an no-compromise, contemporary family home of around 800m2.The design intent was to reinstate the original form of the existing house, clearly defining old and new. By removing a two storey extension, together with a bay window from the main reception room (both non-original), the rear elevation of the property is reinstated close to how it would originally have appeared. The house has been cleverly design and considerate of its Conservation Area surroundings. Demolishing the two storey extension and replacing with a single storey ground floor extension with basement beneath greatly reduces the bulk and form of the property to the rear. The basement construction and additions are distinctly contemporary in appearance, yet remain subservient to the existing property. Internally, the project was finished to an exemplary standard using bespoke finishes in every room, including dark stained oak and walnut timbers, bronze metal, marble and slate.
