Hopkins House is a high-tech home for two of the pioneers of the movement
Hopkins House was designed by Michael and Patty Hopkins as their own home. We take a look at the lightweight steel and glass house as part of our series on high-tech architecture.
Completed in 1976 in the north London suburb of Hampstead, Hopkins House was the first project designed by the husband-and-wife team that run Hopkins Architects.
The two storey, lightweight steel and glass structure was built as the Hopkins' family home and as the office of their own architecture studio, which they established the same year the house was completed.
More than 50 years later Michael and Patty Hopkins still live in the home, while the office of Hopkins Architects was based in the building for eight years until it outgrew the space and moved to a building in Marylebone.
The house was the first project the architects designed together, with Patty previously running her own small practice. Michael had worked for eight years at Foster Associates, where he was the partner responsible for the IBM Pilot Head Office in Cosham and the Willis Faber & Dumas office building in Ipswich.
As their own home, the practice's first project and its office, the building was used as a calling card for the recently established studio's philosophy.
