family house in the London Borough of Lambeth, which was built to fit into a narrow infill plot along a terrace of five architecturally distinct houses. The vision was to build a contemporary interpretation of the Arts & Crafts house combining 21st century energy and environmental performance with a commitment to traditional craftsmanship. Inspired by the English vernacular, particularly by Edwin Lutyens, the Orchard was almost entirely hand built by the owner Will Anderson, who wanted to create a home “where the building crafts shine: richly detailed and alive with the beauty of natural materials”. Built using the principles and software of the Passivhaus movement, the timber-framed structure boasts high levels of insulation and airtightness, except the ground floor porch and first floor conservatory, which were kept outside the heated building envelope to allow a traditional arts and crafts aesthetic.

Brickwork and detailing

Northcot’s Silver Grey bricks were traditionally made by hand and fired in a coal-fired kiln.  Their finely variegated orange, red and silver tones complemented the blue-white of the lime mortar and the glazed cool blue-green handmade Portuguese porcelain tiles around the windows. Matching specials added an irregular artisan appearance and texture. The brickwork was laid mostly in stretcher bond, except for areas outside the insulated building envelope, which were built from solid brick without a cavity. These extend upwards from the porch to the base of the first-floor conservatory in a Flemish Garden Wall bond, which features much darker brick headers in a simple, attractive pattern. The house won Best Brick Home at the Build It Awards 2018.

Why Northcot?

According to Will Anderson: “The chromatic subtleties of Northcot’s silver grey handmade bricks, with their delicate combination of orange-red tones dusted with fine grey sand, were integral to the uniqueness and sheer visual pleasure of this labour of love.” Learn more about this project.

appeal. Originally a spacious 5-bedroom home in rural Shropshire, the existing layout felt segmented, with distinct rooms like a separate kitchen, dining room, and conservatory, as well as a poorly positioned utility room. Ke-design’s proposal centered around creating an open and connected ground floor. A new expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area now accommodates a 20-seater table, fulfilling the client’s desire for a space suited for large gatherings. Additional areas, including a pre-kitchen and repositioned utility room, streamline the functionality of the space. In addition to the restructured ground floor, the project introduced an extension that added a new master bedroom complete with an ensuite and dressing area, and a spacious laundry room positioned near the linen store for convenience. The former dining room was transformed into a guest suite, enabling the reconfiguration of the smallest bedroom above the entrance into a double-height entrance hall with a gallery landing. This architectural choice not only maximizes space but also adds a dramatic, welcoming focal point that consistently impresses guests. The result is a balanced blend of open communal spaces and private retreats, enhancing both the usability and aesthetic appeal of the home.

property but with a contemporary twist for a modern lifestyle. The brief was to build a modern dwelling that would provide inside/outside living, was energy efficient, speedy to build and filled with natural light. It also needed to provide privacy and security. Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) were the perfect solution. With 300m2 of liveable space, the impressive 3 bedroom, single storey home is built from 142mm Kingspan TEK SIPs System and set in two thirds of an acre of land. The house is made up of a series of rooms set around an inner courtyard and linked by glazed walkways that flood the home with daylight. SIPs designed, fabricated and installed by SIPS@Clays, the majority of the rooms are double height, which is another of the many benefits of building with SIPs. As SIPs are structural and supported by Glulam beams, roof trusses were not required, so interesting details like this, were easily incorporated into the design.
