London-based practice Ungar Architects has won planning permission for a 290sq m four-bedroom family house to replace an 1860s cottage in Mill Hill, north-west London<\/div>\n

\u201cIt has been built on to, and every new bit was worse than what was there before\u201d, said practice founder Peter Ungar. \u201cIt\u2019s covered in an encrustation of UPVC windows and it\u2019s pretty horrible. So we went back to the beginning.\u201d Despite this, the plans were restricted by the location in London\u2019s green belt and a pub garden that cuts into the site.<\/p>\n

An earlier planning application by another practice for an extension was rejected by planners concerned about the size of the building\u2019s footprint.<\/p>\n

Ungar has dealt with the restrictions by creating a narrower footprint for the new house while increasing its size by 25%. A courtyard space at the rear of the building compensates for the lack of views at ground-floor level due to the pub garden with timber louvers obscuring views into the building. The design was partially inspired by other modern buildings in the area, although finding a local architectural vernacular proved to be a challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got a Jehovah\u2019s Witness industrial shed on one side, a Victorian pub on the other, a 1930s medical laboratory on the other side of the road and gothic Victorian villas in the surrounding area. So it was a bit difficult to define a context or an architectural interpretation,\u201d said Ungar.<\/p>\n

A start date for the project has yet to be agreed.<\/p>\n
