A complete transformation of a two-storey, Grade-II listed flat in London’s Belsize Park, designed to meet the needs of a growing family while blending original architectural features with bold, modern design.
Challenges
Working with listed-building restrictions, poor ground conditions, and tight site access. Engineering a glass extension on unstable ground and preserving original features within a modern redesign.
Key Stats
Location: Belsize Park, London
Property: 2-storey Grade-II listed flat
Scope: Full interior refurb, glass extension, new garden studio
Partners: LBMV Architects, Symmetrys, Capital Piling
We retained original arches and staircase to celebrate the building’s character, while adding a sleek glass extension using screw pile foundations and a suspended slab. Glass panels were craned over four storeys. The modern timber-clad garden studio, added mid-project, uses Japanese yakisugi cladding with a birch ply interior and eco green roof.
A striking mix of old and new. More daylight, better flow, and a modern garden studio that’s anything but a shed — all tailored to the family’s evolving needs.
