Comprehensive Renovations of a Grade II-Listed Cottage
Hampstead, London
Designed by Marina K Hammer
This 2024/2025 project involved the exquisite renovation of a 4-bedroom Grade II Listed house, originally designed by Parker & Unwin in 1908. Working closely with an interior designer, the project carefully preserved the property's historical charm while introducing modern comforts and design elements, ensuring the house remains a timeless masterpiece.
BEFORE
The exquisite 4-bedroom house, though not in a very bad condition, was in need of modernisation. Its original features remained intact, but the property required updating to meet contemporary standards of comfort and functionality, while retaining its historical charm.
BUILDING PROCESS
During the renovation, the electrics were completely renewed to meet modern standards, ensuring both safety and efficiency. New flooring was installed throughout, and the bathrooms were fully renovated. The design also emphasised the property's original architecture, with a stunning opening in the kitchen eaves to create a higher ceiling, and exposed beams in the reception room that celebrate the home’s historical significance.
COMPLETION
With the house complete, it truly becomes a home when it's filled with memories and carefully chosen belongings. Each item has been thoughtfully placed by the interior designer to create a space that feels both personal and considered.
Heart of the home
The kitchen is a standout feature, with refined craftsmanship and a well-planned layout. It balances style and function, creating a space that’s both inviting and easy to use.
First impressions matter
The entrance opens into a calm, understated hallway that sets a welcoming tone. A thoughtfully designed guest restroom adds comfort and convenience for visitors.
Comfort zones
The living rooms upstairs and downstairs provide great spots to relax or hang out. Both spaces are designed for comfort and easy living, making the whole home feel inviting and cosy.
Connecting spaces

A room to grow
