House in London
The house, with its whitewashed brick facade, is very small. Standing on a site only 90 m² in area, it provides 68 m² of floor space that is divided between two storeys. The housing shortage in London has animated many clients and architects to exploit extremely small plots of land to create premium living conditions. The present house was built in the rear part of the garden of what was once a fine terraced residence. Formerly, a disused garage stood here. A special feature of London’s urban fabric are the so-called “mews”: narrow cobbled lanes that served historically as service routes between the back-to-back gardens of long rows of terraced housing.
