St. Maur Road, London, SW6

A one of a kind Parsons Green house.

We all often see beautiful homes and come out thinking 'I wish they did this instead...'. It is safe to say you won't come out of St. Maur wishing it was any different. The house is a perfect blend of peaceful living with entertaining in mind, two words which you won t often see together when describing a house however something that most people would want their home to be. The house has been designed by acclaimed architect Toby Flanagan and not one detail has been missed. From the shadow gaps at the bottom of the joinery and walls which shows the contemporary design of this sleek house to the playful use of light which creates pleasant visual displays which are unique from whatever corner of the room you are stood in.

The glazing is all bespoke and most of the windows are doors. A playful feature and shows the attention to detail which has gone into this family home. There are many window slits and sky lights which means wherever possible the house is flooded with natural light. There are many 'wow' features, most notable is the huge pane of glass at the rear which disappears seamlessly into the wall to really make the outside an extension of the main house. Everywhere you look you can appreciate why something has been done, from the positioning of the spotlights to the clever storage idea's, there is a place for everything.
