Murray Mews, Camden, London

Maximising potential on a tight urban site

A new build, light filled house in North London, designed to adapt to the changing needs of a growing family by providing flexible bedrooms, play and study spaces.

A large open plan, double height living/dining and kitchen space is overlooked by a play deck. High-level terraces combined with a small garden add to a sense of space and encourage outdoor living.

A central block-work shaft creates a staggered void, enabling light to pass through the core of the building. The house opens at the rear through sliding glass doors and windows (treated to reduce winter energy loss) creating light filled accommodation and the illusion of greater space.
