Featuring in Open House London 2019, this new family home in Blackheath in the London Borough of Lewisham is sits on generous plot, enhanced by landscaping both surrounding and integrated into the built form itself. The design is driven by an interest in materiality and the desire to use sustainable materials in new innovative ways. The façade design, using slatted cedar wood fins, provides privacy, shade and interest in referencing the surrounding treescape. The proposed house has large windows and an open-plan layout providing generous natural light and views of landscaped gardens.
