Sitting on a Green Belt site with spectacular views across North London in the village of Stanmore, this development occupies the northern end of a Country Park. Hub are taking this project from second stage planning to final completion. After extensive research of the local vernacular and with respect for the Arts and Crafts heritage of the local architecture, Hub developed a set of details that enabled the ten new-build houses to integrate sensitively with the local landscape. Each house is unique and with careful articulation of the internal spaces, these cottages offer spacious and high spec homes. Working closely with the engineers and developers, Hub developed open steel frame sections to maximise the available space on the upper floors. The frames enabled pitched ceilings to be opened to ridge level, while storage solutions were created under eaves. Of the ten houses at Wood Farm, Chestnut House was selected as the show-home. The furniture layouts, mechanical layouts, kitchen and bathroom design and lighting plans were all considered at the earliest stages, alongside the structural decision making. This enabled the design team to seamlessly integrate services, providing a high specification house with minimal floor build up and retaining floor-space. At the same time we were able to meet the Code Level 3 for Sustainable Homes and accessibility standards for Life Time Homes. Hub Interiors developed a range of materials that combine natural stone, leather and timber with contemporary finishes, glass, lacquer and porcelain, giving the show-house a light and airy glamour. The elements are all tied together with a carefully controlled colour palette, combining elegance with comfort.
