Wimbledon Villa

Located near Wimbledon Common, The original house constructed in the 2000s comprised a white-rendered blockwork box with a flat roof. It presented a paper-thin appearance, especially compared to the rich Edwardian villas that typify the neighbourhood. The scheme comprises a new façade, porch,  infill extensions, and a complete interior remodel. The idea was to create a “country house in miniature”, adding spacial drama and material richness but on on a human scale. The internal plan is based on the arts and crafts layout of a central double-height hallway from which rooms are oriented to the north or the south according to their use. Social to the south and private to the north. Influences range from Eltham Palace to Castle Drogo.
