The pair from the street corner

01 · Brief

Fit two independent homes on one corner plot without it looking like a terrace of boxes.

02 · Approach

Two family homes on a corner plot, drawn as one composition. A deep flat roof with lit soffits holds both houses together, while a timber-clad centre and stone side walls mark where one home ends and the other begins.

A low wall with slatted steel railings and stone piers gives each garden privacy from the street without closing the houses off.

03 · Design moves
  1. 01One roof for two

    A single deep roof plane with lit soffits ties the pair into one composition.

  2. 02A timber hinge

    The shared middle is clad in timber, the one warm surface on the facade, marking the line between the two homes.

  3. 03Privacy without walls

    A low base wall with slatted steel railings screens the gardens from the street but keeps the houses visible and safe.
