Renovation and Redesign of a Four-Bedroom House in Belsize Park for Resale The Client’s ChallengeThe development company commissioned us to redesign a four-bedroom property in Belsize Park with the goal of enhancing its market appeal and maximizing resale value. The client’s key requirement was to create a home that felt spacious, filled with natural light, and balanced timeless design with modern finishes to attract a broad range of potential buyers.
The Design SolutionTo meet these objectives, we undertook a full renovation with a focus on light, space, and market-ready design. A lower ground floor extension was a central feature, dramatically increasing usable area and introducing more natural light.
Key interventions included:
- An internal glass window between the hallway and kitchen to improve openness and light flow.
- A new glazed door providing direct access to the previously inaccessible rear garden.
- A modern kitchen featuring light cabinetry paired with dark Dekton worktops for a clean, striking contrast.
- Reconfiguration of the bathrooms to include a luxurious en-suite and two guest bathrooms.
- Use of marble-effect porcelain tiles in all bathrooms to create a bright, upscale aesthetic.
- Installation of wooden flooring throughout the home, adding warmth and continuity to the interiors.
- Implementation of clever lighting and electrical planning, including ambient, task, and accent lighting to enhance mood, functionality, and spatial experience across all levels.
