Hopkins House, Grade II* listed residential building in Hampstead, United Kingdom.
Hopkins House is a residential building in Hampstead designed with high-tech architectural principles using steel and glass as primary materials. The structure features extensive transparent walls across multiple levels, creating continuous visual connections between interior and exterior spaces.
Architects Michael and Patty Hopkins designed and built this residence in 1976 as an experimental housing project using modern materials and techniques. The building received the Civic Trust Award shortly after completion, marking its significance in architectural development.
The residence demonstrates how industrial materials and modern construction methods found acceptance in a traditional London residential neighborhood. Its steel frame and extensive glass walls create a distinct visual presence that contrasts with the surrounding period properties.
The residence is located on Downshire Hill in Hampstead and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors can explore the neighborhood on foot to observe the contrast between modern and traditional architecture in the area.
In the early 1970s, this residence was radically different from anything typical in this established neighborhood. The architects who designed and lived here used it as a demonstration project to show what modern housing could become.
