This house must be a joy to live in. Composed of outwardly unassuming gabled forms, one for the living and one for sleeping, connected by a timber clad flat-roofed section, it fits well with the scale and forms of the existing mid-century houses in the area. From ‘tree house’ mezzanine through to the phone-booth nook, the interior is a child-focused delight – practical, durable and charming, with the right mix of volumes and materials to provide an excellent backdrop for family life.
