This project was originally designed in 2000, and the Consent of the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust was obtained, but the clients did not then feel able to proceed with it.
The consent however were renewed regularly and eventually the project was completed some twenty-two years later. The aim was to increase the amount of living space and its connection to the garden, and to provide light studio space. The original house was built in 1937 to the designs of noted Suburb architect CR Crickmer and is in the Hampstead Garden Suburb Conservation Area. AT the same time the decaying exterior rendering of the house was renewed and all the original single glazed steel windows were replaced to match with double-glazing. The context allowed he extension to be treated as a pavilion symmetrical about both axes and allowing windows to face in all directions. The projecting concrete canopy over the front entrance of the original house provided inspiration for a similar feature on the extension. With its three corner windows and the organisation of its structural rendered-brick piers some inspiration was taken from the contemporary work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
