MW Architects have created a light filled family home within a secluded sunken garden in Maida Vale.

In this renovation project designed by Le Borgne Rizk Architecture, a large family wanted to reinvent their daily way of life by seeking to maximize the use of previously neglected outdoor spaces. Their main aspiration was to better integrate nature into their daily lives, through architecture that allowed for a fluid link between indoors and outdoors. This desire to open up their home to nature, while retaining the comfort and functionality necessary for family life, guided every architectural decision. Photography by Maxime Brouillet.
A complete rebuild on an existing mid-century foundation, the Batten House designed by FLOWER redefines the tricks of ’60s era homes. It takes its name from our take on board and batten cladding, with custom shapes and patterns which redefine the standard and seek a different texture and musicality. With an integrated garage door and new upper level, the design sets the solid brick entry form against a vertical backdrop. And the porch — no home should be without a porch — a place to crash with a beer after a hard day’s work, watch the kiddos, chat with the neighbors, and watch the sunset. With this house we’re looking for ways of acknowledging the atomic age roots of the neighborhood while resisting the temptation to mimic old styles.
