44 Monsell Road, N4 2EJ
44 is a reconfiguration and extension of a charming and peculiar Victorian house. The original building was an opportunistic infill in the garden of an adjacent home, sitting alone behind two terraced streets. The architect and home owner saw the potential to expand the modest building, creating a pocket home which keeps their growing family in the community they have called home for 15 years.

The house is child friendly, we have a 2 year old ourselves, but as space is very limited we ask people to leave pushchairs etc outside.
The house is very small, so we may need to limit numbers inside at any one point. There is a small step into the house.
fardaa is a London-based architecture and urban design studio, engaging with a diverse range of projects and contexts throughout the UK. Our approach focuses on the specificities of place, users, uses and communities, whilst simultaneously addressing universal themes of social and environmental responsibility. We believe that the design process should be a holistic endeavour, considering aesthetic, economic, poetic, ethical, qualitative, social, tectonic and environmental concerns simultaneously and without bias. Winners of 2024 RIBA and Civic Trust awards.
