Local studio Mata Architects<\/a> has extended a family home<\/a> in Hampstead<\/a>, London, with a timber-clad building featuring a glazed corner and an overhanging roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named Panoramic House, the extension<\/a> was designed to sit lower than the main living space, to make better use of the space and connect the home to the garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Previously, the home’s main living area sat 1.5 metres above the garden and was accessed via a long flight of stairs, which the clients felt disconnected it from the rest of the property.<\/p>\n

“Lowering the floor allows the extension to sit gently within the garden, bringing the landscape closer and creating a sense of immersion”, Mata Architects<\/a> founding director Dan Marks told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

The site slopes toward the rear, and the studio designed the extension to follow the contours of the land.<\/p>\n

“The extension follows the slope of the site, stepping gently with the natural contours rather than reshaping the land”, Marks explained.<\/p>\n

The position of the extension was largely determined by the mature trees on the site, with Mata Architects working alongside tree care specialists to establish root protection zones.<\/p>\n

“What might have been a constraint became an opportunity, resulting in an extension that feels intertwined with the landscape rather than imposed upon it”, Marks said.<\/p>\n
