This luxuriously built detached family home was constructed into a sloping site that lay empty for years and is located within the leafy neighbourhood of Highgate.

The brief was to design a contemporary house that would sit comfortably within its Edwardian setting. Key elements were to create naturally light filled rooms with spaces that were adaptable for different occasion and uses, including open plan living.

Innovative prefabrication processes were used to minimise time onsite and damage to the neighbouring land. This was achieved by using a prefabricated concrete basement manufactured in Germany and timber frame construction for the remainder of the house.
