The first custom-build homes built in London. A terrace of flats and houses which was built from scratch and sold at 'shell' for the owners to fit-out themselves.

In this development which was the first of its kind, we teamed up with local architect Poulsom Middlehurst to build a terrace of 3 houses and 4 apartments which were sold at shell.
The shell finish allowed our customers to benefit from a highly environmentally-friendly new build on the outside while getting homes that exactly suited their needs and budget on the inside.
The shells were split-level with no internal walls to create a feeling of space and flexibility and allowed the introduction of double-height voids and the maximisation of light on what is a very tight urban site. The lack of walls and landings makes the homes feel much bigger than they actually are.
Each of our customers approached the fit out in a slightly different way. One did it mainly themselves with a builder, some used an architect to project manage, others project managed the build themselves.
