House renovation in Hampstead

path2993

Started: 2020
In Progress


Jordan+Bateman Architects were appointed to carry out a radical refurbishment for a large residence in the exclusive Hampstead Garden area.


We are intervening with a proposal that achieves a considerable extended floor area over all three floors, plus a newly introduced portion of habitable basement. The old elevation and massing present odd proportions and overly complex volumetries. The proposal brings unity, rigour, style and consistency to the house.


The design retains large part of the existing structure, whilst delivering a completely different aesthetic and internal layout. The cHoice of retaining the structure allows to reduce the embedded CO2 of the works compared to a demolition-and-new-built solution. New windows and internally breathable insulation will deliver a substantial reduction in energy demand.


We were appointed through a pre-selection and restricted competitive tender that saw JBA winning alongside with our Design Team colleagues at Thompson Cole as (Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers) and Samuely (Structural Engineers) and Peters Hay (Service Engineers).


As part of the approval process we have worked with the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust in a proficient and collaborative way ensuring all stakeholders were satisfied with the deliverables and design approach. This included delivering at eaarly stage typical detail design proposals for key elements, ensuring their appropriateness in design and their statutory compliance.

path2993

Started: 2017
Completed: 2018


Jordan+Bateman Architects have successfully delivered the refurbishment of the entrance atrium of a Grade II listed building along the Strand in Central London.


The design delivered a multifunctional space that extends the use of the atrium to allow presentations, exhibitions, promotions and other functions. The flexibility of the space is given by integrated audio-visual equipment, bespoke flexible joinery, concealed services and high-end finishes.


The access control system was designed to meet the stringent security requirements and external conservation restraints whilst freeing up the maximum atrium space for a variety of functions. On the internal side the access control enclosures and services are masked behind a metal fretted screen reinforcing the Client’s branding.


The design schedule and site programme were tight to suit a planned reopening of the premises by our Clients and their VIP guests. The building was kept fully operational during the works.
