Hampstead House

Award 澳门王中王 London Award 2024
A small early house by Modernist architect Trevor Dannatt, on a tightly restricted site in Hampstead, has been rescued and triumphantly renewed to create an exquisitely crafted but practical home for a busy, growing family.
Once marked for demolition, together the client and architects have worked together to pare back years of incongruous additions and reimagine it, with its low stepped plan and staggered courtyards, as a creative tension with its garden. Their coherent new interventions and careful conservation demonstrate a real understanding of how to make the most of light and views. Poor ground-floor additions have been rationalised to establish the kitchen as the heart of the house, with living rooms to the rear. Above, a new metal-clad extension houses bedrooms. Sustainable through its retention and upgrading of building fabric and services, the house revels in a quiet mastery of its materials palette, both inside and out.
