Walmer Yard, London, W11

Unique two bedroom house with gated off-street parking

Description

Completed in 2018 Walmer Yard forms a discreet and private set of four interlocking houses, set around an open communal courtyard. This building, designed and crafted by Peter Salter together with Fenella Collingridge, and developed by Crispin Kelly, is the reflection of a long education and the product of a decade of learning, thought and inspiration. From the play of light, shadow and colour, to the intense celebration of materials and constantly fresh sequences of spaces, these houses celebrate what architecture can deliver at the domestic scale.

House 4 is a wonderful mix of great volumes and superb natural light, complimented by vaulted ceilings and uniquely designed light shafts. Upon entering the house off the private communal courtyard you are greeted by an open hallway which leads into the impressive, spacious and bright reception room. This connects seamlessly to the open plan kitchen/dining room, which houses a beautiful large oak pivot door enabling the room to be divided allowing for a separate dining area. Access to the courtyard is found via a door to the rear of the house, whilst there is also a wood burning fire which adds to the comfort, feel and overall ambience. The lower ground floor, enhanced by one of the impressive light shafts, provides two fabulous bedrooms with bathrooms. Both of which provide additional access to the courtyard which has stairs leading back up to the reception room, creating a wonderful flow to the overall arrangement of space. The lower ground floor also provides direct access to the house from the underground private off-street parking space which is accessed via the secure electric gates to the front of the development.
