Our previous clients Katherine & James (see also SLOT_HOUSE) contacted us at the height of the pandemic in 2020 when they were thinking of buying a larger house in a leafy south-London suburb which could offer them more space and a generous rear garden.
The only problem was that the garden was north facing and, as light-loving New Zealanders, they were worried that the house would be too dark.
We were able to reassure them that with the right design we could ensure lots of natural light to the interior whilst improving the visual connection between house and 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.
