West London Project
This impressive white stucco Victorian
villa stands on a prominent corner site
in London’s Notting Hill and as such the
house benefits from triple aspect and an
abundance of natural light.
23 Architecture were approached
by their clients to obtain planning
for a new basement and completely
reconfigure and extend the substantial
existing 1850’s four-storey villa.
The client brief was to design a family
home to house their four growing
children, with large open spaces in the
basement that the children could be
free to play and hang out together, but
also providing sanctuary in spaces for
each of them to retreat.
As with most of 23 Architecture’s
designs, they focussed their attention
on combining inter-connecting volumes
46
and double height spaces together with
a stunning staircase at the heart of their
design.
This house is no exception with a
beautiful stone staircase housed in a
geometric glass and steel enclosure
which stacks throughout the entire
house from basement level up,
terminating in a white plastered
sculpture of a staircase at attic level.
