"The completed small house is a red-clad structure that manages to stand out without dominating its Victorian neighbours."
"The layout revolves around a central courtyard and a sequence of light wells, which drop daylight down into the depths."
In a recent episode of Grand Designs, Kevin McCloud revisits a compact red house in South London, built on a site that had previously held garages. The homeowners, Graham and Mel, designed the house to merge two families affected by loss, showcasing thoughtful architecture that maximizes a modest 66 square meters. The house creatively places bedrooms in a basement, ensuring airy upper levels while incorporating light wells and a central courtyard for natural light. The red facade blends traditional and modern elements, creating a unique yet harmonious presence within its Victorian surroundings.
