Description

A bold and exciting architect designed new build property, voted the Best Contemporary House by The Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovating Awards in 2003. The property is one of two low built private residences within a secure gated plot having off street parking and garaging. The scheme, designed and built by Powell Tuck Associates, W6, centres around a beautiful landscaped courtyard providing a serene and calm ambience, cut off from the outside world. Unit 1 is a two storey building stretching 23 metre along the front façade and measuring 5300 square feet internally. Uniquely, part of this space is designated for business usage and is currently in use as an architectural studio. The largest part of the property is a fabulous residential dwelling suitable for a modern minded family seeking lateral living, seclusion and something a bit out of the norm. The style is an uncomplicated, honest and modern industrial look, combining volume, light and comfort. This exemplary home successfully balances the practicalities of working life and urban living.

The buildings' form, colours and textures, in conjunction with its private courtyards, are aesthetically very well balanced. The relationship between the live and work aspects is both efficient and unobtrusive to either function. The orientation and format of the living space makes optimum use of the urban backland site. The interiors - particularly light-filled first floor living spaces - are at once dramatic and elegant. The pragmatic use of honest, rough, practical finishes in the interior creates a utilitarian aesthetic that perfectly suits the buildings' crisp linear architecture.
Most importantly, however, the building clearly functions very successfully for its current owners and their children; an exemplary new urban home balancing the practicalities of working life.
