The artist and photographic studios front the street using a patterned Corten steel façade and a projecting ‘hoisting box’ to echo the industrial aesthetic. Hidden behind is a courtyard house with a folding green roof that brings light to the main living areas and addresses the issues of overlooking.
“Featherstone Young has created a striking addition for the small mews street. But it is one that sits in harmony with the neighbourhood’s existing spirit and sense of place.”
