Award RIBA London Award 2023Â

The sunken, brick and timber three-bedroom house is located on a difficult brownfield backland site in Southwark. The house is in the Thorburn Square conservation area on the site of a former garage. After acquiring the site, the architect and client embarked on an iterative design process which resulted in the 126sqm house being sunk into the ground by just over one storey. The creative, problem-solving mindset of the team delivered an intriguing project whose joyful quirky character has turned massing and daylight constraints into a design opportunity. Â
