Slot House by Sandy Rendel Architects
Photographs by Jim Stephenson
When design ingenuity comes into play, Slot House is built in a disused alley in Peckham, fitting into the width of a London Underground carriage.
Using a prefabricated lightweight steel frame, with light coming from both ends of the home as well as through a skylight, the architects have created a space that doesn’t just work, but is enjoyable to live in.
Tikari Works’ The Rye Apartments
Photographs by Jack Hobhouse
These 10 new-build apartments in Peckham, opposite Peckham Rye Park, are designed to be sustainable, with their choice in materials, most notably the calming wooden interiors, used for both their energy efficiency as well as cost and aesthetics.
31/44 Architects’ Corner House
Photographs by Rory Gardiner
Corner House is a development of three homes, with details that reference traditional Victorian design. The architects took special care to ensure that the homes fit into the site as well as the character of the neighbourhood.
31/44 Architects’ Red House
Photographs by Rory Gardiner
Referencing details found in the Victorian homes around it, the Red House is set apart from them by its distinctive red brick exterior.
Built on the site of an old garage, the house is flooded with natural light via windows lining the courtyards, allowing the red exterior to be visible from within.
Kings Grove by Duggan Morris Architects
Photographs from the Modern House
This beautiful two bedroom house won the RIBA National Award and the Stephen Lawrence Prize in 2012, and features a private courtyard and a central atrium that provides the ground floor with light.
Victoria conversion by Jonathan Nicholls
Photographs from the Modern House
Architect Jonathan Nicholls worked on this conversion while living in the house, and was able to experiment a lot more with the project as it was his own home.
A skylight and glass and steel doors offer an abundance of natural light, and engineered ash plywood joinery adds warmth to the kitchen.
Hugh Strange’s Peckham House
Photographs by David Grandorge
By inserting a steel frame into this Victorian home, architect Hugh Strange completely transformed this townhouse, allowing for a double-height kitchen, and a complete reorganisation of the space.
Tsurata Architects’ House of Trace
Photographs by Tim Crocker
The creation of this new extension in place of an old one preserves the memory of the old in the cracks in the bricks as well as the slope of the roof, while allowing new memories to be created in the identity of the new building.
Contrasting brickwork distinguishes between the old and the new, and structures have been exposed internally, with the handmarks of workmen telling their own stories.
