Church Road

AHMM with RUFFARCHITECTS

Haringey, 2022

Urban Oasis Prize

Shortlisted

A home in the Highgate conservation area set amongst the only remaining ancient oaks outside Highgate Wood. The house is nestled in a semi-sunken position in the back garden plot, a unique urban oasis. Touted as innovative timber framed in 2009 when built, Church Road is an example where the Don’t Move, Improve! mindset was fundamental.

“A true oasis in the middle of North London. The design leaves the outside, out, and inside, in. Intelligently and thoughtfully combining the two.”
