Two large houses on Arkwright Road in Hampstead, since converted into flats, have large rear gardens which back onto a rear lane, leading to some garages and other newer houses that have sprung up over the years. In these back gardens are a selection of mature cherry, hazel and oak trees – all protected and within the ‘RedFrog’ Conservation Area.

The house was reconfigured and updated for this family of two lawyers and two daughters. Working at home was a key requirements, making two studies counterpointing one another – one on the upper ground floor at the rear overlooking the garden – the other set within the small garden, more detached from the house.

This family of six had outgrown the existing footprint of their house, with the small crowded kitchen being the focal point of their family life. Square Feet Architects resolved their space dilemma by removing an internal wall between the kitchen and adjacent living room to create one larger open plan kitchen-dining-living space.
