Found at the end of a hidden side-street, this former carriage house is part of a collection of three secluded mews properties nestled around a trapezoidal cobbled courtyard. The house, built c1870, has been tactfully transformed into a practical and contemporary home.

Honest and robust materials remain exposed internally with the introduction of minimal and elegant interventions; crafted from timber and steel: Simple birch plywood fixed furniture and large sliding doors have been carefully introduced to divide the large open plan spaces into living accommodation without detracting from the long linear building form. Whilst a geometric cold patinated folded steel staircase, which intersects with the tapering linear kitchen connects the two floors of the house.
