Nested within a Victorian context, this new-build house is a green oasis and a calm retreat which maximises sun exposure and connection with nature, while being entirely contextual to the site.
Architect Mark Shaw, founding director of Studioshaw, embarked on building his own home after a chance discovery of a disused MOT garage in Walthamstow, East London.
Studioshaw entirely reconfigured previous planning consents to create a contemporary, light-filled home that responds to the site's unique character - a pocket of land surrounded by Victorian terraced houses and gardens. The studio navigated a complex planning and consents process, including 27 party wall agreements.
The result is a carefully crafted retreat - an oasis of calm within the city - designed to maximise natural light and sun-exposure, embrace nature and create a connection between indoor and outdoor areas.
