Hampstead monastery to Arts & Crafts home
Hampstead, London, UK Private homeIt took a six-year design & construction campaign to convert this 1890’s unlisted Edwardian friary – stripped of all period qualities in the 1950s & very badly altered – back into a commodious family home. Almost everything except the basics of the street elevation is completely new including the axial layout which brings clarity & organisation to this huge house & creates a previously missing focus on the huge heath garden beyond. Also totally invented is the garden Family Room which is intended to have something of the air of a repurposed Edwardian artists studio that might once have stood here.
