Our brief for the transformation of this detached Arts and Crafts dwelling house in North West London was to create an airier, lighter and more contemporary feel for a young family’s home and their modern art collection. We opted for an approach that expands the house horizontally thus making most of the spacious garden that surrounds the building. A key element in our design for Heath House is the new connection between reception rooms on the ground floor and the rear garden. The living spaces include a new-build wing and reconfigured kitchen with a dining area that opens up to the garden establishing an inside-outside relationship not previously present in the house. The Client: "This is the second house Patalab has transformed for us and created a fantastic home for me and my family. Their passion for design can be seen everywhere in the house. The beautifully crafted spaces provide the perfect background for our family life. Our kids enjoy the open ground floor and the easy direct access to the garden as much a we do. This has totally changed how we live during the warmer months spending a lot of time in the garden."
