Description
Triptych House is the full internal refurbishment and contemporary extension of a Grade II listed semi-detached family home in a Conservation Area in North London.
The existing property consisted of three separate elements (or bays) which were visually distinct and a result of the subsequent extension of the house in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The extension at lower ground floor is split into two distinct elements to reflect the tripartite appearance of the rear elevation. The tones of the brickwork and metalwork aim to bring together the various disparate materials of the existing rear facade which include aged buff London stock brickwork, red brickwork and lime render.
Despite only having a small foot print, the addition of the extension allowed for a remodelling of the existing kitchen area to create a light-filled kitchen and dining space with a separate large hidden pantry.
The upper floors were refurbished and partially reconfigured to accommodate a new utility room, en-suite to the master bedroom, dressing room and study.
Working closely with the client, due care and attention was given to every detail on this project - from an overarching colour palette, to lighting strategies and choice of soft furnishings.
Questions and Answers
What was the project brief?
The existing house had been lived in by the same family for over 20 years and was long overdue a renovation. The client saw an opportunity as her 3 children were going to be away for extended periods of time, so grasped the opportunity to modernise and extend the house in order to give it a new lease of life for the future.
What were the challenges of the project?
The main challenge was that the house was (and is) Grade II listed so it required a sensitive and considered approach to the works that were going to be carried out and how we approached the planners. The other challenge was trying to achieve the clients desire for a classic and timeless aesthetic that didn't just follow all the latest interior trends.
What was your solution to these challenges?
We worked closely with a heritage consultant and conservation building contractor in order to develop a clear strategy early on in the project. In regards to achieving a classic and timeless aesthetic, we spent a great deal of time working closely with the client, assessing designs and interior choices in great detail.
