This addition to a south London terrace is a brutalist treasure, a meticulously detailed urban infill in concrete and brick that makes the most of its site
Whittaker Parsons’ Corner Fold House was designed for a downsizing couple, who swapped a conventional Victorian terrace for a faceted modern house that makes the most of its awkward site, tucked in between an immovable electricity sub-station and the clients’ former family home.
The new house bookends a short Victorian terrace and combines patterned brick with shuttered concrete. The faceted façade turns the corner, grounding the new house within its urban context. Set on a slight hill, the house has leafy views due south across rear gardens all the way to Crystal Palace and the railway line into the city.
The entrance level houses the main bathroom and sitting room, which overlooks a green roof. A winding oak staircase uniting all three floors and exposed timber ceiling joists that expand the sense of vertical space throughout. The bedroom is located on the top floor, a generous room with far-reaching views.
