St George's House
Simple geometry and the dramatic scale redefine this home for a family in Islington.
To emphasise the notion of balance and unity, the outer walls and roof planes do not touch at the corners, allowing the space to flow freely while ensuring the space feels enclosed.
The pavilion is intended to be versatile, with a wooden storage wall concealing a bed, curtains, and fold-down desk so that the space can be transformed into a guest bedroom or workspace. An en-suite bathroom is located to the rear of the pavilion.
Careful attention has been paid to the structure to create a purposefully ambiguous balance dividing the exterior and interior of the building—double sliding doors allow the interior to expand out onto the courtyard space.
