Needing more space for a family, with unaffordable property prices, and a reluctance to relocate, The Secret Garden Flat was self built on a limited budget.
Situated behind a shop in a Victorian terrace on Camberwell Road, a small awkward flat has been remodelled, shifting the emphasis of living away from a busy main road to the garden behind.
Self building with a palette of simple and modest materials that could be crafted with our own hands, a new bedroom and secluded garden studio have been added.
These new additions now sit comfortably amongst the palimpsest of alterations and development to neighbouring buildings. The end result is a flexible home that the whole family can enjoy for years to come.
