This two bedroom house occupies a site back garden site in west London, and uses contemporary language that takes it cues from the suburban context. The single storey house is discretely positioned behind an old garden wall, and features an intricate pitched roof that gives the building an intriguing character when viewed from the street. The cranked footprint follows the line of the street, and a simple internal layout creates unexpected and dramatic spaces that are filled with natural light, alongside two peaceful courtyards. A simple palette of robust materials reflect the setting.
