On a tiny patch of land in the borders between Southfields and Putney … we have designed and built a small two bedroom house. The house was designed in section rather than in plan so as to maximise the potential of the restricted plot. Bedrooms and shower rooms are in the basement, the open plan kitchen and dining room are on the ground floor with the living room and and study on the first floor mezzanine. We have engineered the building so that natural light permeates deep into the property. Although the house is modest in scale, it has a spacious feel and is filled with light.
