Form, light and materiality are explored to great effect in this renovated two-bedroom Victorian apartment in Crofton Park. The warm London stock brick of the front façade gives way to unabashedly contemporary interiors, energised by the fall of light and a concise palette of expertly used materials. An orchard garden at the rear lends a woodland feel to the main living spaces, where wide sliding doors frame views of the enticing terraces beyond. The thriving shops, cafés and parks of Brockley are all a short walk away.
