In a world heavy with clutter and complexity, there is an antidote. It is a creation that embraces form, light, and modern structure and materials. It's not Meiss Van der Rogh's Farnsworth House, sitting in a field, but rather cleverly woven into the fabric of historic Hampstead, while espousing the same principles as Meiss' masterpiece. An extremely private home, it was designed to draw light in and make you feel as though you are getting the best of the outside. Le Corbusier would revere the home's geometric modernism; his principles of universal space, architecture as pure geometry, and minimalist interiors at the helm of its design.

From the street, the handsome façade of dark brick contrasts beautifully with the red brick fence, and the floor to ceiling first floor windows are framed nicely behind the mature trees in front.

As you enter, the foyer reminds you that you are stepping into something unique. We love the double height entranceway, where light streams in through the large window above the solid wood door. Dark black brick, natural wood, glass, and light greet you as soon as you walk in.

The beauty of it is that the house feels simple, uncluttered, and peaceful. The architect, Brinkworth, did a superb job of marrying simplicity and beauty, using geometry and light to frame different views throughout the property. The descent to the lower ground floor is divine, with two different coloured brick walls, a sloping glass roof, and steel beams splitting the levels that look out to the lush green of Hampstead.

The showstopping principal suite must be seen to be truly appreciated. If the rest of house is not enough, this room will sell it to you. A full floor to yourself featuring a bathroom with floor to ceiling windows, yet because of the design, these lead to a sheltered balcony providing complete privacy. The large windows opposite the bed give the illusion of being in the New Forest, with trees that seemingly go on forever, thanks to their fantastic vantage point overlooking endless gardens.

The living space extends to the outdoors, where large sliding glass doors open to the garden, which has a tiled patio perfect for the BBQ. A step up leads to a beautiful lawn bordered by lush greenery.

In an area where period homes are celebrated, this modern home stands as a unique one, symbiotic with its surroundings. Never too much and never too little, this home strikes the perfect balance between simplicity, modernity, and comfort, inviting its next owners to live better each day.
