First and foremost, the scheme maximises limited space on the site, which measures 88 square metres. The existing double garage is demolished to make way for the new house, which features accommodation spread across one level.
The site is positioned on a quiet tree-lined street in the centre of Leytonstone, behind two end of terrace houses. Accessed via its own driveway, when viewed from the street, the new dwelling appears to be simply a gated entrance, with a small building similar to the height of a garage.
An attractive open timber feature forms the frontage of the new home, providing privacy for occupants as well as a view out onto the street. Clever design means the new house enjoys a strong sense of privacy and is not overlooked by neighbours.
Inside, the layout of the house is configured to maximise the sense of spaciousness. The use of windows and rooflights is key, ensuring sunshine floods into the core of the dwelling throughout the day.
