BRINGING LIGHT INTO A FAMILY HOME
XUL Architecture renovate a family home in the heart of Hampstead Garden Suburb ’ s conservation area
This family home situated on a popular 1930s street in the heart of Hampstead Garden Suburb has undergone a full renovation and rear extension .
The family recently grew in size with the addition of a baby , so the pressure was on to reimagine this house for the needs of a 21st-century family whilst respecting the history of a 1930s conservation area .
XUL Architecture set about bringing light into this home through ingenious ways such as light panels either side of the front door drawing light into a previously dark entrance hall . As you arrive in the space , the view through to the garden is unobstructed with a clear line through the hallway and past the natural tones of the kitchen carpentry . A subtle rear extension created space for a skylight to fill the kitchen with light whilst staying within the guidelines of the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust .
The clients chose a cool palette of blues and greens creating a cosy space in the evening , whilst during the day the rooms are filled with light and warmth . The house has clearly defined spaces for the family to live in , moving away from the trend of the last decade to open spaces up . Working from home with a young family created a need for partitioned spaces that can be used at different times of the day .
