This beautifully conceived detached house on Wilton Way - one of Hackney's most sought-after streets - is an outstanding example of expressive contemporary architecture. It was designed by RIBA award-winning architect Lisa Shell in 2010 and makes masterful use of clean, architectural lines and a crisp decorative palette. Light floods in through a wealth of glazing, including skylights and picture windows. Something of a sun trap, a private, elevated terrace extends seamlessly from the bedroom and faces south.
