House-within-a-House
Live
An incongruous 1950s house, extended up and out; wrapped in a brick skin. The design balances the needs of a large family with conservation area requirements. Its asymmetrical form draws reference from the terrace which it nestles into. A contemporary addition; sympathetic to its historic setting.
