Kew House, Kew

This four bedroom family house was completed in 2014 and was formed of two prefabricated weathering steel volumes inserted behind a retained 19th century stable wall. Split into two wings, the simple plan makes the most of a constrained site and responds to the living patterns of the young family.

Built on the walled site of a former taxi garage, this family home is almost entirely hidden in the middle of a Victorian block in Chiswick. The house is arranged so that on entry, there are two levels, with stairs leading up to the open-plan living level, and down to the lower level of bedrooms. The six roofs, each topped by a skylight, are lifted above the enclosing boundary wall. In two places, the vaulted roofs are absent, leaving two storey deep voids that act as garden courtyards for the basement level bedrooms and children’s playroom. Glazed walls slide back to expand the living space onto balconies that project into the voids, formed with perforated mesh.
