Overview
The Walled Courtyard house, designed by the local architecture studio Inglis Badrashi Loddo, has been completed in Kennington, south London. This single-storey residence is characterized by its concealment behind brick garden walls. It occupies an infill site measuring 63 square meters.
Research Context
The site for the Walled Courtyard house was originally a component of the garden belonging to a Grade-II listed Georgian townhouse. This historic townhouse is located on the south-east corner of the 18th-century Cleaver Square.
The project involved developing a compact house within this previously unbuilt garden space, necessitating an architectural approach that integrated the new structure with the established historical context through its visible elements, specifically the garden walls.
Approach
Inglis Badrashi Loddo designed the structure as a single-storey dwelling. The design incorporates brick garden walls as a primary element, serving to conceal the house from its surroundings.
