A compact retreat – a finely crafted two-bedroom home that transforms constraint into comfort.
London, United Kingdom
Tucked within the footprint of a former coach house site, this miniature family home redefines what is possible on a narrow urban plot. Just two storeys high, it accommodates two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and generous living spaces while preserving a 30 sqm private garden that breathes life into the compact plan.
Paying homage to its Edwardian neighbours, the façade is crafted from reclaimed red brick, detailed with a contemporary precision that bridges past and present. Inside, the palette shifts to a warm, modern expression, celebrating its sustainable timber construction with exposed beams and finely crafted joinery. The combination of reclaimed materials, timber structure, and efficient planning creates not only a low-impact build but also a lasting, character-rich home — a small footprint with a generous spirit.
