House on the Heath by COX ARCHITECTS

This project involved re-modelling 72sqm of a detached Edwardian house in a leafy South London Conservation Area...

From the architect: The client is originally from New Zealand but have lived in London, UK for many years. Like many Kiwis abroad, to feel good where they live, they want space, light and a strong connection with the nature.

During the pandemic they seized an opportunity to buy a larger house which ticked all of these boxes, but there was one problem. The garden faced North. In conversation with the architects (who had re-modelled their previous property) they decided that the right design could help maximise sunlight, daylight and views out to the garden.

Budget dictated a facelift of the existing structure rather than a rebuild so the design is a sort stage-set behind which a lot of the original building still sits.
