Tree Courtyard House is a new-build single storey home on a backland site within a conservation area in Walthamstow, East London.
Designed for a local developer on a restricted site at the end of a small laneway, the project was guided by a mature London Plane tree and its root system in the corner of the site. With a focus on preserving the site’s natural elements while maximising functionality and accessibility, the 2 bedroom home with level access is organised in an L-shaped plan around the tree and garden.
Given the tight footprint, corridors have been eliminated to maximise space efficiency and offer smooth transitions between rooms. The entrance is positioned at the heart of the house with a living area, kitchen, dining and bathroom located in the centre of the floorplan, bookended by two bedrooms facing the courtyard garden.
