Eclectic House in Camden

16 Feb 2021

Eclectic House

Design: Patalab Architecture

Location: Camden, North London, England, UK

Patalab Architecture’s client approached them to remodel her 1960s terrace house in Camden, North London, with the aim of imposing her own strong personality and creating a contemporary family home.

The brief for Eclectic House included maximising the living area with ground floor extensions to the front and rear of the building as well as a new roof terrace. The client wanted to achieve a contemporary feel that also spoke of her affection for Art Deco architecture and design.

As a result, Patalab Architecture were interested in an architectural approach that is eclectic; embracing the feel and quality of different eras of urban living. To realise her ambition in a cohesive way, the architects opted for a rich minimalism that is expressed through the spatial and material qualities of the design.

The attention to detail has a warmth particular to our studio’s work. This is evident with the classically crafted paneling within the reception rooms and routed doors reflecting their surroundings, whether part of a larger joinery unit or continuing an adjacent tile pattern.

Textured natural materials such as honed marble, grey sandstone, dark stained oak and patinated bronze are set against steel, glazed white tiles, routed paneling and veneers.

Eclectic House is one of numerous residential schemes for private clients Patalab has realised in the London Borough of Camden over the last years. These include Heath House, The Gables, Cascade House or Grove Residence.
