Three Gardens

Award RIBA London Award 2023
On a brownfield site formerly occupied by dilapidated garages, the rich yet compact 82sqm single-bedroom house and artists’ studio were designed to frame and also provide views out to the plot’s three distinct garden spaces. The building’s single-storey presence on the street is a skilful game of architectural languages – a blend of brick garden wall and lightweight garden shed set around a playful slither of defensible space found in Victorian terraces. This enables it to be both distinctive and contextual, the front of a building and simultaneously the side street of an urban block.
