The house has been sited perpendicular to the road in order to make the most of the mature garden and southerly aspect. A series of french doors, sliding doors and timber bay windows open the south elevation up to the garden. In contrast the curvaceous brickwork north elevation resembles a castle wall.
The house has a beautifully crafted interior, with a number of finely detailed and manufactured joinery pieces. These include an oak circular turret stair with specially cast aluminium chassis and a sweeping oak staircase with black walnut handrail.
– RIBA Awards Jury for London, 2010
“The detailing, particularly in the joinery, is completely gorgeous and a continuous delight.”
– Joanna van Heyningen, Architecture Today, May 2010
“We would highly recommend KBA, without reservation. They have been great to work with and have delivered an outstanding result.”
– Tom Wells, client
“A creative response to making a really great place to live.”
