Sustainable new build two-bed dwelling (with Basement option, total three bed). Woolwich, London. 2019.
The backland site is located at the top of a hill, sitting discreetly within a residential setting in southeast London, Woolwich. The plot is surrounded by gardens on all sides whilst, maintaining a narrow path connecting the site to Elmdene Road. The sloping plot and tree lined perimeter allows the proposal to neatly slot into the landscape minimising the physical presence to the existing context. Structurally insulated panels (SIP) will form the structural frame and internal partition walls, with a robust exterior metal cladding and living green roof.
The ground floor opens up to a large continuous living area with a subtle change in levels separating the kitchen/dining and living space. Large glazed bifold doors seamlessly extends the internal living area into the garden and surrounding landscape.
The proposal has been designed carefully to protect the privacy of both occupants and neighbours, large openings are located on the South facing perimeter, maximising natural light entering the dwelling on both levels. A selection of robust sustainable materials with low future maintenance have been selected in response to the compact nature of the site.
A basement arrangement has been developed (post planning) providing extra bedroom, living space, and lower patio area.
Location: Elmdene Rd, Woolwich. London.
