We worked closely with our client and in alignment with the borough's brief to create a sustainable family home, integrating our commitment to future-proofing. Adaptive for future generations and dynamic family changing size. Our focus was on designing a family home that met the borough's sustainability goals while ensuring long-term resilience. This approach included the use of renewable energy, energy-efficient materials, and climate-adaptive design, to ensure that this home not only serves current needs but remains viable and environmentally responsible for future generations. By integrating these elements, sustainable houses offer an eco-conscious living space that promotes long-term resilience, lower operating costs, and reduced environmental impact. We specifically worked with water and it’s conservation. This served as a template for a house that could be constructed in different boroughs of London responding to each context.

Situated in a fashionable borough of east London, this home sits amongst a series of courtyards. The design features a meticulous articulation of circulation spaces, treating them as habitable areas with sculptural qualities and thoughtful adjustments in height. The layout carefully arranges a fluid progression of rooms orientated towards unique garden landscapes which defines the architecture. The house is fully wrapped in timber and plant based facades, a new form of housing typology. The warmth and texture of the hand-crafted cleft timber provides a foil for the architecture of nature. Balancing artisanal craftsmanship, contemporaneous spaces, and remaining ecologically focused.
