Conversion and basement swimming pool extension

We were asked by our Clients to take over the extensive rebuilding and extension of this early 19th century house and tower set on the edge of Hampstead Heath at its highest point. The first photograph below shows the state of the house when we were first approached and the next, the house as completed.

The design included a newly formed basement under the entire building, with a new swimming-pool built under the privately owned lane leading to Hampstead Heath, the reconstruction and moving forward of the whole front facade, extension into the newly-formed roof space, insertion of a new cantilevered stone staircase, and terraces with unique views of Hampstead Heath.

We are proud that the completed house was presented with the “Building Quality Award” by London Borough of Camden in recognition of the high standards achieved. Click below to read in full (pdf).
