London’s first custom-build development and winner of a London RIBA 2025 award, 2021 Build-it Custom Build Award and silver in the 2021 London Design Awards
In this development which was the first of its kind, we teamed up with local architect Poulsom Middlehurst, Yard architects and New Makers Bureau to build a terrace of 3 houses and 4 apartments which were sold at shell.
The shell finish allowed our customers to benefit from a highly environmentally-friendly new build on the outside while getting homes that exactly suited their needs and budget on the inside.
The shells were split-level with no internal walls to create a feeling of space and flexibility and allowed the introduction of double-height voids and the maximisation of light on what is a very tight urban site. The lack of walls and landings makes the homes feel much bigger than they actually are.
Each of our customers approached the fit out in a slightly different way. One did it mainly themselves with a builder, some used an architect to project manage, others project managed the build themselves.
