Belsize Architects was designed Cannon Place Residence into a modern home, full of light and to ensure that there was a “ wow” factor on the raised ground and lower ground floor. Internally, the spaces were redesigned extensively. The new lower ground floor was excavated further to allow even higher ceilings. It encompasses the kitchen, eating area and family living room. In the entry level, contains the formal living and dining room, completely open t o each other and with a new cantilevered staircase connecting the two floors. Of particular interest is the cantilevered staircase which is made up of a folded steel sheet connected to a steel beam within the wall. The steel plates are then clad in walnut timber, with a glass balustrade connected to the side. Another important element in the room is a leather-covered side unit, which curves around at the top and continues across the ceiling. The unit contains a dumb waiter from the kitchen below, a bar, TV set, storage and incorporates lighting at the top. On the floor above is the master bedroom suite, with bathroom, walk-in-wardrobe and study. The bathroom, clad in Crema Marfil stone, has a walk-in shower. A large glass screen separates the shower from the vanity unit behind. The glass partition has a strip of mirror within in front of the vanity unit. On the floors above there are 3 further bedrooms with their bathrooms and a further study. This modern Cannon Place Residence located on a narrow street close to Hampstead Village and the Heath.
