Nestled within a sloping garden plot in South London, this discrete pavilion style house sits quietly amongst the trees.The house wraps around the boundaries of the site to create a parking courtyard to the front and private contained garden to the rear.A low lying timber clad element with a cantilevering roof contains the bedrooms and bathrooms at the front of the house.
