Highgate House

  • Extension and refurbishment of 3-storey hilltop terrace in Whitehall Park Conservation Area, London N19
  • Ground floor reconfigured as an open studio looking out bay windows, part of which can be screened off with pocket sliding doors to form a private study
  • Rear window enlarged into kitchen doorway for direct view and access to garden
  • Natural “breathable” insulation used in roof and floor (wood fibre and foamed glass), instead of petrochemical-derived foam insulation
  • Daylight brought into ground floor shower and kitchen via rooflights

In this house, we love to cook under the rooflight when it rains. It is also the best time to sing in the shower!
