Crawford Partnership
SMALL RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
Preface
Crawford Partnership was established in 1997 by Alan Crawford as a ‘boutique style’ London based architecture and interior design practice. This new book includes examples of our small residential projects, both built or at design stage. Our design influences are many, from art and technology, science and nature, through to travel and literature, with each unique project aspiring to create beautiful crafted built forms and spaces and to incorporate sustainable materials and technology that enable designs that maximise on light, space and comfort and provide visual delight for all. The residential projects illustrated focus on the increasingly controversial issue of working and living in London, with the challenges we now face of a rapidly growing population brought about by urbanisation, and skyrocketing land prices that have created a housing crisis. This has directed our work philosophy towards the use of backland or infill gap sites that are often neglected, being considered as unsuited for residential use due to many constraints associated with development in proximity to existing neighbouring homes, such as overlooking, privacy, access, and building in conservation areas. Our bespoke designs address these constraints positively as part of every unique solution and also explore the use of ‘off site’ construction methodology and technologies that enable quality, employing sustainable building construction at competitive cost levels. The knowledge and experience gained working on backland and infill gap sites in London has enabled our comprehensive understanding of economies of space and cost of materials needed to successfully complete these contemporary homes for the 21st century.

2003 Completed Islington, London Value | £250,000
Located on the end of a Victorian terrace, and within a sensitive conservation area, the compact site of only 80 square metres was formerly a derelict single storey car repairs shed. The design of the new three storey house established a new model for bespoke homes on these small infill sites by turning the standard house configuration ‘upside down’ and locating bedrooms at basement level. Construction involved the excavation of a new reinforced concrete basement level within which 2 bedrooms cluster around an internal atrium garden that is provided with an electronic retractable all glass roof that floods the interior with natural light and can be fully opened in good weather. The steel framed superstructure allows open plan configuration of spaces and maximum glazed areas at ground and mezzanine floors and supports a barrel roof above. 04

2004 Completed Brent, London Value | ÂŁ150,000
Our initial brief was to renovate and extend the tired interior and exteriors of the original 1960’s council house property to provide more spacious accommodation and to give the house an individual and contemporary character. By removing existing cellular rooms at ground floor we created a unified open-plan living space which is increased by the addition of a single storey rear extension with large full height sliding doors inserted facing onto the landscaped garden. The new master bedroom benefits from a double height extension at first floor with a concealed roof terrace that floods the room with natural light.

2005 Completed North Kensington, London Value | ÂŁ300,000
Following the completion of Snowden House I in 2003 Crawford Partnership was commissioned to design its successor - Snowden House II. This new build house is located on a tight corner plot formerly occupied by two lock-up garages, at the end a 4 storey Victorian terrace within North Kensington Conservation Area. The project extended our experience working on constrained urban sites, transforming them with contemporary architecture. The design philosophy inverts the normal layout configuration of a typical house placing three bedrooms within a new basement that occupies the entire site. Open light wells and amenity areas allow daylight down to basement level at front and rear of the new house.

The site is located on a backland plot occupied by a semi derelict two storey brick building, and with the sole access via a narrow ‘undercroft’ passage between the neighbouring houses. Presented with constraints such as overlooking, noise from the railway and a challenging footprint, we were able to work within these to create a unique 3 bedroom house that overcame all the main issues and transform a seemingly impossible site. From the street the new building presents a subtle and sympathetic frontage, with the only indication of the contemporary design within being the new opaque toughened glass door etched in a contemporary style to interpret the panelled doors of neighbouring properties. Offsite cross laminated timber framed construction is proposed.

2007 Completed Hammersmith, London Value | ÂŁ350,000
Offering a sympathetic but contemporary addition to the street, the new house incorporates a variety of modern building practices and sustainable principles. The main frontage incorporates a new London stock brick wall paying homage to the existing garden wall, and features a simple wooden door signalling the entrance. At first floor level, the building has been set back to follow the existing building line and reduce the visual dominance of the massing when viewed from the street. The completion of the house continued the practices’ exploration of the possibilities to utilise small derelict, landlocked and urban infill sites, with individually crafted, contemporary and sustainable homes being created.

2008 Completed Value | £500,000
The site was originally a small and unused overgrown garden between backs of houses flanking a busy road in Barnes Common, with a derelict garage on site facing a bend in the road. Turning the main visible part of the new house away from the road and creating a new basement level across the entire plot, we were able to create a new contemporary detached 5 bedroom dwelling over three storeys.

The house configuration follows our ethos of turning the traditional layout design ‘upside down’ with four double bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms, located in the new basement. By incorporating lightwells with full height windows to all rooms and large skylights, natural daylight and sunlight penetrates into the lower ground level of the house in abundance.

2008 Completed Muswell Hill, London Value | ÂŁ2,100,000
Planning permission was gained to construct 5 new houses with a large parking forecourt built on land previously occupied by a pair of 1920’s semidetached houses. Four of the new homes are 4 bedroom, 4 storey terraced houses, with a standalone 3 storey, 4 bedroom detached home designed to Passivhaus standards. The new houses take advantage of the steeply sloping site to provide new basement levels for each of the terrace homes which are configured with entrances at ground level across cantilevered bridges, with a new ramp and stairs leading to the Passivhaus home and its ground floor entry level. The external facades with their render, black brick and grey slated roofs, whilst sympathetic to the adjacent period homes, have been designed in a contemporary style reflecting the scale and materials of their period neighbours in a modern idiom.
20
Internally the layouts reflect an open plan, contemporary style appealing to 21st century occupants.

2009 Planning Permission Highgate, London Value | ÂŁ3,000,000
The existing house is one of 24 similar detached houses located in a private residential mews in Highgate. The 900m2, 3 storey design received planning permission after a successful planning appeal. Planning restrictions meant that the new house could be no higher than 1 metre above the apex of the original house, therefore, to maximise the site potential, we created a new basement level that takes advantage of the sloping site enabling the lower level to benefit from natural daylight and extending the footprint to the rear where the impact of the increased scale is not apparent. The elevations are designed to be sympathetic to the neighbouring houses, utilising matching brick and tile finishes, however, contemporary detailing provides individuality and style to the new house.

2009 Completed Kentish Town, London Value | £1,500,000
This development of 4 new homes develops ideas for a new concept of terraced housing on constrained urban infill sites. With numerous inherent planning restrictions, our aim was to maximise usable space for each home whilst combining privacy and security with best possible outlook and amenity. At a density of 83 dwellings per hectare, the scheme represents a model approach to a difficult site for family housing, addressing the government’s target of 60% brownfield usage. To avoid overlooking neighbours, each house incorporates minimal openings on the front façade, with all main rooms opening out either onto a rear courtyard garden or a roof terrace cut into the façade and positioned between individual homes allowing daylight and sun to penetrate to the rear courtyard.
26
Circulation between floors and rooms is minimised with the central staircase open to adjacent spaces, providing a strong sculptural hub to every house.

The site is a typical urban backland space leftover between the Rear gardens of terraced houses, and formerly used as a builders yard. Accessed from the road via a narrow gated undercroft that leads to the 10-wide parcel of derelict land, and enclosed on all boundaries by existing residential properties, our design provides a private terrace of 3 storey houses discreetly set within the mews styled environment, with all houses configured to maintain the amenity and privacy of neighbouring dwellings.

This 150m2 house further explores the reuse of urban infill land. The new house is built on two storeys with an excavated basement accommodating 2 children’s bedrooms wrapped around a south facing open lightwell. The ground floor is designed as an open plan living, kitchen and dining space, also with a master bedroom suite and a study all opening onto a sunny courtyard garden at the rear. The ‘Light House’ as named by the clients, won the top accolade in the 2012 Haringey Design Awards ‘Best Home’ category. Leading design critic and architectural Journalist Paul Finch complemented the house for ‘creating something from nothing and in doing so providing a family home within a unique and challenging site that despite being only occupied for a short period of time already felt like home.’

2011 Completed Richmond, London Value | ÂŁ350,000
The site was originally part of a private residential back garden on an end of terrace house with access from a side street. Planning restrictions to minimise visual impact to surrounding properties dictated that the new house could only be visible at ground level, therefore, to maximise the site potential it was decided to create a new basement level following our conceptual ideas of placing bedrooms below ground arranged around an open light well and skylights, with each room gaining maximum daylight and sunlight from floor to ceiling glazed opening doors. At ground floor the house is completely open plan and finished externally in white render with aluminium double glazed windows and glass balustrades Sustainable construction technologies are incorporated designed to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3, including features such as a green sedum roof, and a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system which minimises the energy consumption of the home. 36

2012 Planning Permission Muswell Hill, London Value | ÂŁ2,500,000
The existing site at Hollybank is typical of the type of project Crawford Partnership work on, comprising of 35 run down lockup garages on backland, tree lined, brownfield land completely hidden from the street, and with every boundary flanking the rear gardens of adjacent period homes set within a Conservation Area. The approved design creates six inwardly-looking, two storey, 3 and 4 bedroom family houses in a new contemporary mews development. The architectural style and materials proposed for the houses, with facing brick and clay roof tiles, is a modern interpretation of the existing Victorian vernacular of the area, and designed to complement the adjacent Arts and Crafts influenced features of the nearby houses.
40
The project reinforces the practice ideology on how to creatively provide new homes on small urban infill sites that incorporate high quality, sustainable materials and renewable energy technology.

This new build two-storey, three-bedroom, Coach House is part of the mews backland site that forms a larger redevelopment of an existing three-storey terraced shopping parade with a highstreet frontage and flats above. Designed for an elderly married couple with restricted mobility focuses on ease of access throughout the home, incorporating all facilities at ground floor, including the master bedroom suite, and an open plan kitchen dining and living space opening onto a sunny external private courtyard garden which further facilitates access in and out of the house. A concealed lift provides access to the first floor. As with many of Crawford Partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designs, daylight and sunlight filter into the house from carefully positioned skylights and floor to ceiling opening glazed doors. Exposed oak beams with oak flooring throughout combine to provide an interior warmth. 44

Crawford Partnership were commissioned to obtain planning consent for the redevelopment of this tree lined, backland site in the heart of Crouch End, North London. Formerly comprising of 35 lock-up garages, the site is flanked on all boundaries by the gardens of existing Victorian houses on adjacent streets. The design follows the linear footprint of the previous garages and provides 4 detached, three storey, four bedroom family homes in a mews style environment set within the narrow brownfield site. Crawford Partnership has addressed numerous restrictions imposed by the local planning authority with a creative, contemporary design that provides spacious dwellings with open plan modern interior design, new basements that benefit from an abundance of natural light, underfloor heating throughout, and green roofs and photovoltaic panels, meeting Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. 46

Darling House is a bespoke, contemporary, three-bedroom new build detached family house set within a Conservation Area which replaced a former double garage on the compact urban infill site that measures only 80 square metres. Set over three floors and with a new basement level, the footprint of the house occupies the entire site requiring complex negotiations with neighbours. The idiosyncratic style of the house aspired to enhance the context of the street scene with a bold architectural statement using a minimal palette of materials to unify the design language, including Shou Sugi Ban burnt larch cladding and black brick externally, and birch-faced plywood throughout the interior.
52
An air source heat pump provides all heating and hot water, and combines with underfloor heating throughout, and photovoltaic panels hidden at roof level further contribute to the renewable energy performance.

Value | ÂŁ1,800,000 This backland site was originally an avenue of run down lockup garages terminated by a single storey warehouse. The owner desired to replace the warehouse with a pair of semi-detached â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;off the pegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prefabricated homes. After initial discussions, we were able to persuade the owner to consider a design incorporating a terrace of 3 bespoke, contemporary, three storey town houses.
58
In addressing many design constraints including the restricted access and geometry of the site, and maintaining neighbours amenity and privacy, has resulted in a sculptural architecture emerging from the ground, with all main areas of glazing either facing onto the enclosed landscaped space at the front, or within enclosed winter gardens to the rear. Large rooflights infuse natural light within the minimalist central staircase area, and polished concrete and wood floor finishes combine to provide a contemporary and artistic interior ambience. The scheme was awarded as Best Residential Development by BUILD 2017.
