Hartington Road, W4

This project involved the total redesign and remodelling of a semi-detached house into a decidedly modern and open plan property, which responded to the aspirations and requirements of our client.

The project involved all three floors of the house, including new bedrooms and a bathroom in the loft space; a comprehensive re-planning of the first-floor bedrooms and bathrooms; and a major re-structuring of the ground floor areas. On the ground floor where all the significant changes took place, we have built a spacious free-flowing space offering dynamic vistas from one area of the house to another.

One of the most striking features of this house is that we decided to place the kitchen in the middle of the house, so one enjoys views through the house – a clear 180-degree arc, going from virtually due east to due west. The kitchen thus becomes the focal point of the house, with a spectacular concrete island unit taking centre stage!

Concrete is a theme in the house, and to reinforce the open plan nature of the property, we have used polished concrete floors throughout to unify all the various zones and to create a genuine homogeneity to the fabric of the house.
