Architectural design in line with existing grade II listed buildings
A one-storey, hard to find dwelling situated within a conservation area in the centre of Clerkenwell, London, needed an architect who could handle a challenge.
One which could meet the homeowner’s expectations, whilst keeping in line with the strict regulations a property carries when in a conservation area.
The architect would need to have the ability to consider the extremely sensitive site of which it’s located as a top priority in the design process.
The home sits next to a former Victorian School, Kingsley Place and above former prison vaults belonging to the Clerkenwell House of Detention, built in 1847, Both properties are grade II listed buildings due to the history that they come with, so it was extremely important to design a respectful and non-invasive dwelling.
