A Low-Carbon Re-imagining of Mid-Century Modern in Dulwich Wood
We’ve designed a new home in Dulwich as a continuation of the language of the area’s celebrated 1960s terraces. Inspired by the influential Halen Estate near Bern, a benchmark of Mid-Century European modernism.
Respecting the scale, rhythm, and materiality of its neighbours, our design reinterprets key elements of alternating buff brick coursing, projecting bays, timber porticos, with quiet precision and care.
Behind its familiar façade we’ve shifted the structural strategy using a full Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structure, dramatically reducing embodied carbon, improving thermal performance, and creating warm, highly performing spaces.
Our goal was to create a contextual architecture, to not just fit in but to lead on sustainability.
A quiet reinvention, rooted in place, guided by history, and built for the future.
