Ash Tree House Featured on Wallpaper*

Ash Tree House has been featured in an article for Wallpaper* ‘Ash Tree House offers a contextual approach to a north London site’. Nestled into the bank of a steeply sloping backland site, Ash Tree House is a contemporary four-bedroom family home built around a 150 year old ash tree. Accessed via a long drive between Victorian buildings, the house appears as a crafted single-storey charred timber volume. However, upon entering, the two-storey space reveals itself through a descending double height staircase lit by a dramatic glazing giving views to the surrounding mature trees. Entrance hall and sleeping quarters are accommodated at upper ground level, with a large open plan kitchen-dining living areas seamlessly opening out onto private courtyards at lower ground level.
