Formerly a domestic car garage, the site of the Pocket House has a site area of just over 80 sqm, but due to various planning and contextual constraints an above ground footprint of only 35 sqm. The challenge for us as architects was to deliver a family home in a way which would not feel compromised by the site’s limitations and which would have an atmosphere with more gravity than the modest footprint might suggest. Pocket House has won a RIBA London Award 2019, been shortlisted for House of the Year 2019 and highly commended for the Stephen Lawrence Prize 2019.
