Cast House is a new-build detached house in a suburban street in Clapham, south London. The house shares the visual language of the pattern-book brick 1930s houses, but it is designed in a contemporary idiom offering a distinct proposition.

The house borrows motifs from the surrounding neighborhood to offer a contemporary interpretation of London’s suburbs. Precast concrete details have been used to echo the local 1930s architectural language, and stacking concrete volumes at ground, first floor and roof level open the house up to a relandscaped garden to the rear.
