This unique, design led, award winning house of 1130 square feet is built to a high specification and nestled quietly among the beautiful period properties of East Dulwich. The property is a complete one-off, modelled imaginatively on a London micro site.

Designed by the architect practice Tikari Works, the property cuts a low profile in its secluded setting, finished with a rich pallet of high quality and natural materials and hiding an internal sunken courtyard. Above ground, a veil of fine timber wraps the living and dining volumes offering privacy and shading. Internal spaces are enriched by a tension between delicate joinery and exposed brickwork and polished concrete flooring. (see spec list below)

The house is split over three levels with comfort, practicality and flexibility in mind. You will feel the sense of space and light throughout as ceiling heights on each floor are generous, clever storage areas are plentiful and daylight comes in through varied angles creating interesting shadows and creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The reception room occupies the entire upper floor, whilst the ground floor contains the dining room and kitchen with direct access to a beautiful patio. There is also a guest WC and built-in wardrobe.

The lower level is arranged around a sunken courtyard planted with beautiful ferns, bringing ample daylight into the bedrooms and offering the occupants a peaceful outlook onto this private outside space. There is plenty of storage at this level in form of built-in wardrobes, bespoke desks and extra external storage rooms. A large family bathroom with double sink is also located at this level.

The interiors are reduced to a simple material pallet of brick, timber and concrete, consisting of exposed Douglas Fir floor joists, Spruce wall panelling, handmade Danish exposed brick work, extra wide white-washed Douglas Fir floor boards and an exposed polished concrete floor to the ground and basement. All the materials elegantly come together to to create a bright, modern and versatile home.

Completed in 2018 to an immaculate standard 'The Pocket House' as it is known, is the winner of several awards most notably the RIBA London Award 2019, runner-up at the Stephen Lawrence Awards 2019 and has been featured in an episode of Grand Design "House of the Year 2019".
