Situated in Herne Hill London on the site of a former public house we have designed a scheme for nine apartments. Given the prominent corner site the key elements have been to integrate with the strong vertical rhythms of the adjacent Victorian terrace. Equally important was the provision of amenity space and to maximise the daylight into the rooms within. These factors were dealt with in a contemporary design that used the structure to support a series of balconies to echo the vertical rhythm of the street and set behind this a ‘skin’ of more contemporary cladding to add a depth to the façade. Extensive use of rooflights and large areas of glazing bring daylight into the project.
