Paul Edwards, Clague|, Ashford, Kent

Linear House, Highgate, London N6  

Client: Paul Marshall

Contractor: Cityshape plc

This house is a modern insertion into the old fabric of Highgate Village. Discreetly located in a Conservation Area, it is cut into and integrated with its steeply sloping site.

 

Formal in design, with large areas of glazing to the principal elevation, the house is a contemporary interpretation of a classical pavilion. The central bay was conceived as a glazed cube; and contains the master bedroom floating above. The circulation spine is designed as a gallery, terminated at each end with a top-lit, double height cube. The house is energy efficient by virtue of its design, fabric and the environmental features, which are incorporated into the site.
