14 Mowbray Road
Acquisition of an adjoining site made
possible a new extension to an existing
Victorian period house in Brondesbury,
North London, which had stabling
at ground floor level originally. This
enabled a doubling of the original
volume and transformation into a
stunning contemporary home for the
two occupants.
The building occupies a corner plot
and acts a ‘bookend’ to the existing
house and terraced street. The mono-
pitched slate roof is separated from
the existing brick house by a dark grey
rendered panel which also demarks the
new entrance to both parts of the newly
combined buildings. A timber slatted
screen to the front glazing provides
extra privacy. The Welsh slate roof
finish is taken down the side elevation
creating a unified and discreet facade to
the street.
The new wing provides spacious open
plan living/dining and kitchen on ground
floor opening out through full height
glazed sliding doors to a limestone
paved terraced area at the rear. Wide
board Oak flooring with underfloor
heating throughout gives the clean
interior a unified calm appearance.
