Conceived as a piece of contemporary architecture rather than simply a home, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence of over 2,000 sq ft is an exemplar of crafted design and seamless living. Completed in 2025, the house is conceived as a series of stacked volumes anchored by a glazed ground floor and a soaring atrium, flooding the interiors with natural light and dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior.

The ash façade, accented with bronze detailing, gives the building its distinctive identity—both robust and refined—while expanses of bespoke Crittall and Schuco glazing frame the house in light. Privacy and discretion are inherent, with the home concealed from the street and opening instead onto a series of walled gardens, terraces, and patio spaces that extend the living environment outdoors.

Inside, the palette is deliberately restrained—resin flooring by Sphere8, Florim tiling, oak panelling and Port Saint Laurent marble surfaces. These materials flow continuously from room to room, and even between interior and exterior planes, creating a sense of calm continuity. The ground floor reception and dining spaces, framed by walls of glass, pivot effortlessly onto the gardens, while the sculptural staircase—crafted in steel and glass—rises dramatically through the atrium as both a circulation spine and a striking architectural centrepiece.

The bespoke kitchen, handmade and fitted with Fisher & Paykel, AEG and Elica appliances, is finished with dramatic Port Saint Laurent marble. Bathrooms are equally considered, with Fiandre Nebula Grigia slabs, Lusso Stone furniture and Hotbath fittings. Integrated Kreon and Inox lighting, fully DALI-programmable, allows curated moods, while audio is seamlessly integrated throughout via Loxone.

Upstairs, bedrooms are defined by oak panelling and full-height glazing, with the principal suite enjoying a private terrace and views into the tree canopy. A study space, roof terraces and secluded balconies reinforce the theme of indoor-outdoor flow. Floor to ceiling oak doors fold into walls, allowing the internal spaces to flow seamlessly, whilst mechanical ventilation, underfloor heating, solar panels, and an EPC A-rating ensure the house is as sustainable as it is beautiful.

Externally, the building reads as a hidden house—discreet from the street yet opening into its own serene world of layered gardens, courtyards, and roof terraces. Every detail, from heated rooflights to biofuel fireplaces and EV charging, has been curated not only for function but for aesthetic clarity.

Somerfield Road lies in a conservation area between Finsbury Park and Stroud Green, a neighbourhood increasingly defined by design-led architecture, green spaces and excellent connections to the City and West End.

This is less a house and more a living artwork—a private sanctuary of glass, stone, ash and light, designed with architectural precision and crafted for a life of discretion and beauty.
