ByMyProperty Life

If you love a mix of eclectic brilliance, art deco influences and a restrained Steampunk appeal thrown into the mix, then the beautifully renovated Steampunk House in London is the one for you. Revamped and carefully renovated by Bradley Van der Straeten Architects, the new interior of this three-bedroom Victorian terraced house combines several different influences while adding new spaces to the home and extending the living area along with it. An open plan living space that is connected with the dining area and the kitchen forming the heart of the house. Adding color and uniqueness while opening up the previously split spaces and combining them is a fabulous mustard yellow steel frame that leads to the lovely lounge.

There many unique features inside the house that blend form and functionality in a seamless manner while altering the ambiance inside. In the revamped lounge, a staircase leading to the upper levels is now more visually connected with other spaces while a bright blue walls gives it a special identity. An arched window that previously stood between the lounge and the garden has been replaced by a door that offers access to the outdoors with the kitchen on the other side showcasing its own fabulous mix of colors and finishes.

    Designed for a young couple, the 5,000 sf home and 1,700 sf back house sit on a flat 21,000 sf lot in a 1920’s Palo Alto neighborhood (a few blocks away from Steve Jobs’ residence). The architecture is a study in strong simple composition and is museum-like with its highly refined materiality and emphasis on craft. The massing defines solid and void, captures natural light, and connects the indoors with the landscape, seeking to ‘experience the outdoors from within.’ The ground floor volumes wrapped in an elongated hand-fired brick from Denmark, emphasizing the horizontality of the architecture that lays solidly on the land. Bronze-trimmed ceiling planes slide between the brick masses, and floor-to-ceiling glazed openings are captured by thin-profiled bronze frames. In contrast to the grounded brick volumes, the second floor is clad in stainless steel panels and oversized aluminum-framed windows. The lightness and openness of the second floor is nestled among the oak-tree canopies of the site. At the basement level, a wine cellar and tasting room open to a sunken landscaped courtyard. A 30ft by 10ft continuous pane of glass runs alongside the grand stairwell of floating stone steps, connecting the three levels of the house. Due to the unprecedented size of this glass in residential design, it was custom manufactured in Germany and shipped to California. This dramatic moment in the sequence of progressing through the house helps visitors feel connected to the lush landscape outside. Inside the house, materials such as a custom leather door and bronze anodized details were selected for their unique craftsman-style quality. Another custom-designed element is the steel mesh screen that wraps around to enclose the kitchen for privacy, separating this from the more public “guest hosting” areas adjacent. The steel screen slides along a track embedded into the teak slatted ceiling and disappears into the pantry when retracted. A freestanding structure set deep back into the site is a zen-like fitness/yoga studio as well as a guesthouse with a kitchenette. This dramatic stone mass opens up completely in the center to give the impression of exercising outdoors. The landscape integrates California native plant species, grasses and trees to compliment the materiality of the architecture.
