ConForm Architects has created Achilles House, featuring an elegant marble kitchen that extends the Hampstead home with style
Achilles House is a new project from London-based architects ConForm, the transformation of the rear of a terraced house in north London with a monumental, marble-clad kitchen extension. The full-width kitchen extension is a common archetype in British cities, transforming the rear of a traditional terrace house by in-filling the slender patch of rear garden that runs alongside the rear return. Architects cut their teeth on this kind of work, transforming constraints into opportunities.
The design approach was about emphasising contrasts, with the marble acting as a textural foil with the white-painted exposed brickwork, and the with stained oak flooring throughout the front of the house juxtaposed with the concrete and marble floors of the kitchen.
