An uncompromising modernist structure, this four-bedroom house emphasises volume, light and minimalism to stunning effect. Positioned on a quiet residential street in East Dulwich, it was designed by architect Jeffrey James in 2006, who made inspiring use of an existing 1920s house on the plot. Described by The Architects’ Journal as “radical” and “exceptional.”, this unique home balances its large, open-plan internal spaces with creatively mapped-out roof terraces above a lush garden and studio. Wonderfully peaceful, the house is overlooked only by the canopies of mature trees.
