A house in a dense street
A house on a tight urban site with neighbours close on both sides. A stone-floored threshold and a steel stair beside the entrance create a space between outside and inside within a narrow frontage.
How the spaces are arranged
- On a site with neighbours close by, the position and size of the openings change on each elevation.
- Outside the entrance there is a stone-floored threshold with a steel stair and handrail.
- Timber flooring inside and stone at the threshold mark, in material, where shoes come off.
- A timber front door against white rendered walls; up close, the grain does the work
- Some internal openings are arched, giving variation to an otherwise rectilinear plan
- A split-face stone tile wall, lit indirectly, is the focus of the interior
