Wise Lane, Mill Hill

An elegant new-build family home in North London, offering a dynamic and contemporary take on the classic Arts & Crafts style. Detailing is purposefully minimal and clinical, using a handmade linear brick at the base of the building to bring a higher element of craft and quality to the project. At the centre of the home is a unique triple height entrance hall. The sloping nature of the site facilitated the decision to split the home into half stories, connected by a helical staircase and series of bridge links. The bridges offer dynamic views through the house, and within this arrangement, the property has achieved an outstanding level of spatial variety and sequence. The interior palette utilises a mix of whites, greys and softer tones, with textures chosen to contrast with the external roughness of dark brick against white render. The newly configured property provides the family with an arrangement suited to open-plan living, while still offering key spaces that can be closed off for privacy - a comfortable, luxury family home.
