Project: Portal House
Architecture: Edgley Design
Location: London, United Kingdom
Year: 2020
Portal House is a modern, open plan five bed family home. The front façade interprets the street’s more traditional appearance in a contemporary way by breaking down its scale with framed set-backs and a modern bay window.
In contrast, the rear façade of the building has a much more modern appearance. The living areas at ground floor level open up to the long stretched rear garden via generous glass and sliding door elements.
A generous staircase, dramatically lit from the very top of the roof, connects the house from its basement all the way up to the second floor, which lies within the pitched roof space.
