Hampstead Retreat

Hampstead Retreat is the transformation and extension of a family home, bringing architecture and interiors together to create a calm sanctuary within the city. The clients imagined a home that could evolve alongside family life: a place for Friday dinners, visiting guests, everyday gatherings and moments of quiet retreat. 

The design responds with a sequence of connected spaces that balances openness with intimacy. Long views through the house and framed connections to the garden will create a natural sense of flow, while quieter spaces offer privacy and a place to pause. 

At the heart of the home, a highly functional kitchen will serve as both a workspace and a social hub. Thoughtfully integrated storage will support the practical demands of daily life. Large glazed openings will draw daylight deep into the interior. Conceived almost as a gallery, the home will be minimal yet welcoming.

Comfort, wellbeing and longevity are woven into the design, with energy-conscious strategies and flexible spaces helping the home adapt to the family’s changing needs over time.
