Ulysses House

Full refurbishment with rear-side extension and loft conversion

LONDON, WEST HAMPSTEAD NW6

After years of searching for the perfect family home in the charming Greek roads, our clients finally found this Victorian terrace, untouched for over two decades. Although it appeared tired and cramped, they trusted our vision to transform it into a bright, modern home that effortlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces.

Today, what was once a dark and outdated kitchen is now the welcoming heart of the home, filled with natural light and opening directly into the garden. Large glass sliding doors and a striking glass corner wall make the garden feel like an extension of the living space, with matching grey floor tiles of the kitchen continuing seamlessly onto the exterior patio, further blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The warm, rust-coloured cladding of the extension beautifully matches the home’s original brickwork, creating a sense of harmony throughout.

We combined the separate front and rear reception rooms into a spacious living area that’s perfect for both entertaining guests and spending relaxed family time together. By installing a large floor-to-ceiling window, we also made sure our clients could easily keep an eye on their children from the kitchen—a practical detail that enhances daily family life and fills the space with light.

Every floor of the house was carefully planned to provide comfortable bedrooms with plenty of storage and elegant, easy-to-use bathrooms. The newly converted loft now offers a peaceful ensuite bedroom retreat, and a large skylight above the staircase brightens the whole home, making it feel open, welcoming, and full of warmth.
