It took over a year and many design iterations to find a solution that met both the Dulwich Estates strict aesthetic limitations and our clients needs. They wanted super-modern, open spaces and clean lines, while the Estate required the designs to fit in with the more traditional aesthetic of the rest of the street. In the end, we used a dual-faced design to solve our problem.
To the front, pitched roofs, chimneys and a perforated brick screen acts as a nod to Arts & Crafts design, while the rear of the house opens up with sweeping glass doors and a contemporary, open-plan living area. The perforated brick is actually a screen for the Master bath shower, allowing the occupant to see out while ensuring total privacy at the same time.
