Southwark House Renovation
by VATRAA
Client Private
Award RIBA London Award 2024 and shortlisted for the Stephen Lawrence Prize 2024.
This transformation of a 76 square metre former council house is discreet on the outside, leaving the surprise for the inside, which is a story of space, light, and materials.
The project was designed for a single client and the result reflects this in a home of distinctive character and warmth. A tight budget called for creative solutions – the jury praised the way the architects displayed such aptitude in the home’s environmental and spatial transformation. This work, they felt, offered lessons for many similar houses of this often more affordable type across the country.
