Tucked away next to the wooded Abney Park Cemetery, Two sculptural buildings, connected by an aerial bridge appear effortlessly tailored to what is actually a ‘jigsaw puzzle’ former brownfield site.

NEW LONDON AWARDS 2021

Shortlisted in the DWELLING category
Nestled amongst light-industrial and residential buildings in a former brownfield corner of Stoke Newington, North London, the architectural scheme creates a largely hidden compound at the end of a narrow mews street, which backs onto historic Abney Park cemetery and its wilderness woodland. Home to an artist and her young family, the project‘s design creates a unique environment that melds both her domestic and professional lives; a protective domain into which clients, collaborators and visitors are invited.
