SHH received a brief from our client to modernise
their 1920’s home built by CHB Quennell in
Highgate, north London.
After undergoing various extensions over its
lifetime, planning permission within the Highgate
Conservation Area was obtained to retain the
original façade whilst creating a more rational and
contemporary language towards the rear of the
site.
The scheme maintains the Arts and Crafts style in
a traditional language and hierarchy whilst adding
a heavily glazed rear façade that takes advantage of
the wonderful views across the extensive garden.
Internally, generous room sizes are evident across
all four floors, which includes the new basement.
A mix of formal and family communal rooms make
up the ground two floors with a large master suite
and kids rooms locate above. Notable features
include the split level pool, open living and dining
area, outdoor BBQ pit, car stacker, home cinema
and bar, as well as a detached summer pavilion
adjacent to the sports pitch.
