Brockwell House is located inside the beautiful Brockwell Park, but built in the 50s and was dark, damp, un-insulated, and divided up into a myriad of tiny rooms. The solution was to pare back to the bones of the old house and then re-dress it in a simpler architecture that would sit more sympathetically in the park. The house was broken into three smaller-scale interlocking volumes: one wood to echo the park’s trees, one blue-grey brick to match the urban context, and one a clean rendered box of glass to bring the garden into the main family spaces.
