A Hampstead house renovation and extension courtesy of London-based architect Dominic McKenzie takes its cues from the surrounding architecture, while adding a minimalist touch to update a Victorian family home
Still, McKenzie and his team had to make some fairly drastic changes; albeit with a delicate touch that was respectful the structure’s character and the area’s wider history. ‘The house had been altered over the years and had lost a lot of its original elements. At the same time, a more modern extension at the rear was affecting the overall feel of the property,’ explains McKenzie.
The result, a glazed volume topped by gabled forms clad in bronze, which will weather beautifully over time and through the seasons, not only opens up the interior, working with the architect’s rearrangement of the ground floor; it also creates a strong connection between the indoors and the rear garden. The tallest of the three new volumes forms a treehouse-style box that hosts the owner’s home office, defined by a large opening towards the garden.
All Vitsoe. Love it. 🖤
wow, that's a beautiful office
