A North London multi-generational family home

Our brief was to create a home for our client's family and parents. A place where they could share time together, but be able to retire to their own rooms when desired. A modern, high spec home was essential, but it also had to be future-proofed.

A feeling of space and light was needed on the ground floor. Large floor to ceiling windows were installed and we replaced the original staircase with a hand-stained version with toughened glass sides. Wide beam flooring planks in the same soft bespoke colour as the handrail were used throughout the house. Hall doorways were increased to 2.6m, with no architraving, and pocket doors helped retain the feeling of space.

Functionality was supported by bespoke joinery throughout accommodating, for example, additional storage, TV sites and a coffee station. On the must have list was a home office, an outdoor living space including kitchen, and an outbuilding to house gym or office as needed.
