Area: 178 sq. m. Client: Private Sector: Residential
Location: Primrose Hill, London, UK Thinking about something similar? Award-winning refurbishment of a terraced house in North-West London The 3-bedroom property was refurbished and extended to meet the needs of a family with three children. The client asked for a minimal contemporary design with strong emphasis on natural materials. The new Dining room in what used to be a dump North-facing patio was designed as a pavilion rather than an indoor space: its retractable windows can be fully open, and the North-West corner of its sedum roof bends up to let in the low-angle evening sun. Internally, we replaced the staircase and increased light penetration. From the Kitchen/Breakfast area, relocated half a level up to the south side of the building, light enters the living room through a huge fish tank, whereas the master suit receives direct sunlight from the roof terrace. The integral garage was converted to a study, also usable as a guest bedroom. The new façade blends into the modernist language of the building, reinstating and emphasising its key features – the continuous black trimming and the white cornice underneath the line of the first floor. The project has been granted the 5* UK Property Award 2014-2015. AR Architecture competed against a number of architects in the region to receive the United Kingdom Property Awards 2014-15 sponsored by Gaggenau and in association with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Our award-winning project in Quickswood, Primrose Hill, made in collaboration with Pascoe Interiors, was featured on The London Musings website.
