HOUSE FOR A GARDENER

Feasibility work for a new build courtyard house in South London. A challenging project about getting more from an existing property by developing a new infill house on the site of redundant outbuildings…

Overlooked by locally listed properties both sides, our approach is to build within the existing garage and workshop volumes then link them with an intimate outdoor courtyard space. The courtyard brings light into the house, sets up long views through the site and creates an enjoyable circulation route which steps down the sloped plot and links the two halves of the building.
