Set within a leafy enclave of the Hampstead Conservation Area in North London, a modernist townhouse now stands confidently refurbished for a young couple and their daughter, expertly designed by emerging architecture and interiors practice, Studio Hagen Hall.
Studio Hagen Hall was initially appointed to lightly refurbish the home, involving only the kitchen, bathrooms and windows, but on careful inspection realised that the home’s true potential lay in much wider renovation. Studio Hagen Hall proposed a bespoke restoration encompassing the whole house that would improve operational efficiency and reduce overall project costs in the long term, and ultimately introduce a more sophisticated and pragmatic series of living spaces to suit a functional, life-long home.
Previously a three bedroom home, Studio Hagen Hall has utilised the property’s five storeys to deliver a cleverly and subtly zoned floor plan, balancing social family space with distinct areas for rest, utility, work, and play. It now comprises an additional fourth guest bedroom suite-cum-gym in the basement, plus a new office and guest sleeping pod in the eaves of the property.
A warm yet refined palette forms the basis for the interior mood of Pine Heath. The joinery has been expertly crafted in a complimentary veneer, subtly stained to match the original Paraná pine strip ceiling and stair cladding within the home. Studio Hagen Hall added textures and colours to elevate the atmosphere, with rich greens tying the house together, displayed in the raised living area, stairwell and covering all of the bespoke upholstered furnishings in the living, dining and sleeping spaces.
Other intentional devices are employed by Studio Hagen Hall to improve sightlines and accentuate spatial flow between each room. In the bedrooms, old doors and openings have been replaced with floor to ceiling pocket doors maintained at 2.5 metres high, and subtly re-aligned to allow perfect views all the way from the front to the back of the house. Storage spaces in the bedrooms, once running laterally, now run perpendicular so that windows and views are completely unfettered and viewed through deep timber-lined portals.
Beyond the upgrade to the glazing, insulation was added internally to key areas of concrete and brick structure to drastically reduce cold-bridging. Trickle and adjustable air vents in each room provide fresh airflow via the new centralised mechanical extract ventilation system. The property also features integrated solar panels, an air-source heat pump, underfloor heating, and full roof insulation to meet and more than exceed standard energy efficiency requirements.
An exemplar in sensitively considered architecture and interior design, Pine Heath demonstrates a deep understanding of knowing how to preserve detail through bespoke craft. Studio Hagen Hall and their clients shared this clear vision from the outset for a timeless home for a young family to grow into and enjoy sustainably for years to come, creating a leading example of a London modernist house transformation.
