Convert Construction completed the full refurbishment of a high-ceiling, semi-detached townhouse in Hampstead, transforming it into a luxurious family residence that celebrates both period elegance and modern functionality. The project focused on enhancing the property’s original charm while introducing bespoke spaces tailored to the family’s lifestyle, including a dedicated ballet and dance studio and a private office. The result is a refined home that balances historical character with contemporary comfort.
Challenges
The main challenge of this project was balancing the restoration of period features with the introduction of modern amenities and bespoke spaces. Maintaining the integrity of the original architecture while adapting the layout for contemporary family life required careful planning and craftsmanship.
Restoring the Victorian-style arches and wall panelling demanded precision and respect for traditional detailing, while the integration of the ballet studio and office required thoughtful spatial design to ensure harmony between old and new. The project also involved coordinating multiple restoration trades to achieve a consistent level of quality throughout the home.

The brief was to revitalise the townhouse while maintaining its distinctive Victorian character. Convert Construction approached the project with a focus on craftsmanship and authenticity, restoring key architectural features and introducing new elements that complement the home’s heritage.
Victorian-style arches were carefully restored throughout the ground floor, reinstating the property’s period elegance and sense of proportion. Original wall panelling was repaired and refinished to preserve the home’s historical integrity, while multiple large fireplaces were restored to their former glory, becoming focal points that add warmth and character to the living spaces.
To meet the family’s lifestyle needs, a bespoke ballet and dance studio was created, offering a dedicated space for practice and movement.

The interiors were finished with a refined palette of materials and colours, enhancing the home’s natural light and spaciousness.
The completed Hampstead townhouse is a stunning example of how heritage and modern living can coexist seamlessly. The restored arches, wall panelling, and fireplaces bring depth and authenticity to the interiors, while the new ballet studio and office reflect the family’s individuality and lifestyle.
The result is a beautifully balanced home that combines period elegance with contemporary functionality — a timeless residence that celebrates craftsmanship, comfort, and character in equal measure.
