Sitting in the heart of Peckham, this wonderfully bright house is set behind a lovely communal garden within a row of mid-Victorian almshouses on quiet, tree-lined Choumert Road. The house has been subject to exceptional renovation, extension and redesign by the current owner, working with Picardi Architects. Characterised by a remarkably ingenious use of space and attention to detail, the home is defined by a minimal, contemporary material palette and considered interventions, celebrating the building’s original fabric with modern twists. A glorious private courtyard garden sits behind the house.
