new build home in conservation area
This is a detached home built on the site of a derelict residential garage in the conservation area of Hampstead, London. Built over 3 floors with basement and car lift, the house has been designed to the highest technical specifications.

traditional materials with contemporary detailing
take their influence from neighbouring buildings in the conservation area. With careful positioning of solid and voids, the street facade presents panels of red brick and white render, while the rear elevation allows for more light permeability, with a larger proportion of glass which opens up to its south-westerly aspect and garden view.

concrete stairwell with timber joinery
The interior is conceived as a series of timber-lined elements that are served off a dramatic cantilevered stair within an exposed top-lit concrete volume in the heart of the plan.
