Timber lined house by Russell Jones offers an escape from London city living
Relaxed and informal, the recently completed Timber House by Russell Jones is situated in the London Borough of Haringey’s Highgate Conservation Area. Surrounded on four sides by primarily Edwardian buildings, the design eschews familiar London domesticity, instead striving to create an escape from the world outside with its Siberian larch-clad exterior and interior lined with 100 mm Douglas fir boards.

ZINC HOUSE
We were given the kind of brief most young aspiring practices dream of: to design a contemporary house in a wonderful location overlooking the sea. The twist here was that the house had to be highly accessible whilst avoiding the ‘institutionalised’ feel that many homes for people with impaired mobility occasionally suffer from.
The site presented us with a few challenges. First of all, it was set between 2 traditional, low lying thatched cottages identified as being of architectural significance. Secondly, the views out to sea were only achievable at first floor level, and thirdly, the front, less-private side to the plot faced south meaning there would be a conflict between the road and the proposed garden that would front onto it....
