14 Aug The Hidden House, Hackney.
Form Architecture have gained planning permission for the construction of a 4 bedroom contemporary house in Clapton, Hackney.
The restricted site provides an open plan living/dining/kitchen space that opens seamlessly opens onto the private courtyard to provide a deceptively large outside space. The house has been designed to shadow the adjacent Victorian terrace to provide an unobtrusive infill development, the use of a dark brick for the main facade develops the concept of the shadow house. The property consists of 3 levels and the inset, zinc clad second floor is accessed by a frameless glass link to create a sense of space and openness on this confined site.
