This design for a family home and basement studio, to be built from lightweight prefabricated CLT panels, will create a hidden gem in a tight and densely populated site. Surrounded by 4-6 storey buildings the design adds to the artisan community thriving within the historic urban fabric of Clerkenwell, central London.The massing of this contemporary design solution, which sits between two party walls, has been formed by the need to maximize light penetration, to a site effectively in shadow 85% of the year. Indeed, the design has required careful balancing, in order to maintain privacy for its residents whilst minimizing the loss of daylight to the surrounding neighbors.
