Innovative Use of White Marble Elevates Home Renovation
The residential design of a home in the Hampstead area of London, England, illustrates the contrasts between solid marble and pre-existing exposed brickwork to create a unique, beautiful and functional design
London-based architecture practice ConForm has completed the unique renovation of a terraced house in Hampstead, England, resulting in a new tactile interior scheme contrasted by a distinct, monolithic extension that appears entirely hewn from marble. Designed to offer a seamless connection between a renewed ground floor plan and the southeast-facing garden, the marble side extension introduces volume and light to previously dark, disconnected living spaces of the Victorian home.
The clients appointed ConForm for their sensitive approach to materials, which they had seen executed in a previous project. The design goal was for a full house refurbishment with a functional serene interior, improved circulation and storage, and flexible, spacious dining and entertaining space for hosting large gatherings. As a busy family with children, robust durable but beautiful materials were an important consideration.
