Hampstead Residence

Our design for this private villa in Hampstead replaces an existing 1970s mock Georgian house.

Client: Confidential Sector: Private villa Area: 16,000 sqft Value: £7M Status: Developed design

The design maximises the potential of the restricted site and wraps around the existing mature garden, retaining all the existing fine mature trees. The house is for a young and expanding family. The design creates a large open plan and double height living room which faces directly onto the garden, and around which all of the other spaces are organised. The living room has a large double height glazed wall which folds back during the summer to open the house up entirely to the outside. The glazing is shaded by a generous canopy that helps blur the lines between inside and outside. This is a contemporary house on a grand scale, but it is also highly efficient. As such there are no internal corridors, no wasted space but increased value.
