Lee Terrace reinterprets the mews typology through a refined architectural response. This carefully proportioned three-bedroom home introduces itself into a streetscape of traditional Victorian terraces, using a stepped massing strategy to align with neighbouring buildings. A restrained palette of robust, enduring materials lends the house a calm and contextual presence, while full-height glazing, recessed courtyards and skylights draw light deep into the plan. The result is a quietly confident residence that balances privacy and openness to create a generous, private family home.

An exterior of London stock brick and pre-cast stone reference surrounding terraces, with recessed brick courses adding subtle articulation across the façade. A crowning storey clad in bronze-finished aluminium introduces a distinctly contemporary counterpoint. Inside, a carefully composed material palette of exposed concrete, oak joinery, deep green cabinetry and herringbone parquet create a tonal and textural contrast that defines each space. Continuity between interior and exterior is reinforced by shared elements including ceramic tile paving and oak finishes.

A fabric-first approach to sustainability underpins the home’s performance, with high insulation, airtight construction, and passive solar design reducing energy demand. An air-source heat pump supplies low-carbon heating and hot water, supported by natural ventilation strategies and deep roof overhangs. Working with an arboriculturalist, the design team preserved two mature trees on and adjacent to the site, adapting the layout and using screw pile foundations to integrate the home within its existing ecological setting.
