The proposal is for a new home within the generous rear garden of an existing detached house in Purley, Croydon. The substantial three bedroom house is nestled into a secret garden that is accessed along the side of the existing house.

An entrance pavilion, containing ancillary functions, replaces an existing garage building, and provides a gateway into the site. The building’s appearance draws reference from the surrounding properties, and employs a palette of light brickwork and a terracotta roofscape that reference the surrounding Edwardian housing stock.
