Houses at Voss street

Built

Romain Forquy

The four new bespoke family houses arranged as a terrace and replacing a row of disused lock-up garages on a mews street in a densely developed part of Bethnal Green.

NEW LONDON AWARDS 2020

Highly commended in the DWELLING category

The four new bespoke family houses arranged as a terrace and replacing a row of disused lock-up garages on a mews street in a densely developed part of Bethnal Green.

The site is tightly constrained by its small footprint and the proximity of surrounding buildings so the external design is a sensitive response to its intimate context, conditioned by competing needs for daylighting, views and privacy. Brick, timber and black zinc provide a rich and textured street scene.

The 2/3-bed houses’ split-level interior layouts present an internal landscape of varying volumes, enclosure, daylighting and layered views.
