Crawford Partnership 'Signature' Houses

signature houses

Crawford Partnership continues to expand on our portfolio of ‘unique’ contemporary house designs, that blend modern technology and construction techniques with aspirations on contemporary family lifestyle and values.

Each new project adopts elements of our ethos on how to provide housing for today that meets the space demands of modern family living, incorporates sustainable and eco-friendly construction and the is economic to build.

‘Our Signature Houses’ illustrates some of our current and recently completed examples.

profileCrawford Partnership enjoys a rich variety of work ranging from domestic residential extensions and new builds, to basement construction, hotels, apartments and schools.

We have worked extensively in conservation areas and on many listed buildings and crown estate properties in some of London’s most prestigious areas.

Our award winning designs are driven by a clear and concise philosophy that is concerned with maximising opportunities to create interesting spaces and forms that combine dramatic use of space, materials and light and address issues of sustainability and energy efficiency.

We have an established and growing reputation for developing houses for small, sites in London which add substance to dense urban fabrics and enhance the lives of our clients.

We put a strong emphasis on sustainable design, from the materials we specify and the renewable technologies employed, to the methods of prefabricated construction. We believe a sustainable approach is a vital part of the design process and is considered from the conception of the proj-ect and throughout the entire build. A number of developments which adhere to various levels of “Code for Sustainable Homes” criteria and also “PassivHaus” philosophy.

The practice has developed strong relationships with many local suppliers and also works closely with contractors and fellow construction professionals in many of its projects.

Snowden house is a new three storey house on the site of a former single storey garage block in Islington, north London. Construction involved the excavation of a new reinforced-concrete basement level with ground and mezzanine floors above. The steel-framed superstruc-ture allows maximum glazed areas and supports a curved roof. A two storey high inter-nal atrium garden is provid-ed with an electronic, fully opening all-glass flat roof for the use throughout the year. By flooding the basement with natural light it has been possible to locate the bed-rooms at this level.

Following the completion of Snowden House I in 2003 Crawford Partnership was commissioned to design its successor - Snowden House II. The design philosophy of the house is to invert the normal configuration of a house with three bedrooms within a new basement occupying the entire site. Open light wells allow light down from the ground level front and rear garden areas into sunken garden areas.

‘Last night, one of our recently completed new build ‘signature’ houses, aptly named The Light House, won the top accolade in The Haringey Design Awards 2012 ‘Best Home’ category. Leading design critic and architectural journalist, Paul Finch, who presented the award as head of the Haringey Design Panel complemented the house for ‘creating something from nothing, and in doing so providing a family home within a unique and challenging site that despite being only occupied for a short time, already felt like a home’. Congratulations are in order to the whole design and construction team, and in particular Alex Pickard from Crawford Partnership, who was project Architect and coordinated construction of the works on site. Special thanks also to our clients, Miki and Miriam, for their motivation and belief throughout that we could transform the derelict garages into a much loved family home.’

- Alan Crawford, July 2012

Crawford Partnership are delighted to have received the ‘Best Home’ award for The Lighthouse in the 2012 Haringey Design Awards.

The award was presented by the leading architectural journalist and design critic, Paul finch, who headed the design panel. Paul complet-mented the house for ‘creat-ing something from nothing, and in doing so, providing a family home within a unique and challenging site that despite being occupied for only a short time, already felt like a home.’

Located in the heart of Lam-beth, near Clapham Com-mon, this proposal adopts an innovative approach to the design of the new dwell-ing, maximising its poten-tial by creating a light-filled basement and a generous landscaped front garden. The new dwelling will oc-cupy three levels, creating generous floorspace de-spite a small building foot-print. This will also reduce the buildings visual and en-vironmental impact.

This proposal for a new three bedroom home in Hackeny, spans three floors including its basement level and sub-sequently offers substancial living and sleeping space.

Through its intelligent use of windows, lightwells and sky-lights, this dwelling provides the maximum use of natu-ral light. A sheet facade of corten steel is one of the design most distinguishable features and its designed to adhere to the latest codes for sustainable homes.

Following some recent resi-dential development of prefabricated housing units in Bratislava, Crawford Part-nership has been invited to look at the design of a new house for a site in New Zea-land.

The clients brief was to de-velop a structure that could be built in prefabricated sections for assembly in situ in a remote part of the country where they are relo-cating.

Crawford Partnership has worked with the client and Fluid structural engineers to jointly develop ideas for ‘Wavy House’ which it is hoped will be built in a sce-nic location as illustrated.

Located on Pangbourne Avenue, North Kensing-ton, Crawford Partnership have designed a contextu-ally sensitive and environ-mentally concious house to replace a delapidated aspestos garage. Featuring a double basement. The home features only one sto-rey above ground which is discreetly hidden behind a hedgerow from all but one sides. It choice of material reflects that of the surround-ing 1930’s buildings resulting in a subtle addition to the existing street elevation.

Situated on Iverson Road, West Hamstead, this pro-posal looks to demolish a delapidated, two storey, carpentry workshop owned and used by the client for a number of years. In its place will stand a newly construct-ed Live-Work unit with similar massing, providing 3 bed-room accommodation plus an addition work area that can be accessed without encroaching on the main living space. Sustainability of construction, the incorpo-ration of renewable energy systems, and respect for the site context are central themes in the design and construction of this unique dwelling.

This proposal looks to utilize the potential of a small site in Shepherds Bush by demol-ishing an existing derelict coach house and construct-ing a two bedroom home with outdoor terrace. It aims to maintain a low key pre-sense, small footprint and subservient appearance to the surrounding buildings.

Bedrooms are located in the basement around a large lightwell, ground floor fea-tures the living and kitchen space and the first floor is a generous master bedroom with en suite.

The concept of Glenthorne House follows from the work we have completed on many residential sites throughout London. It de-livers a desireable, habit-able, residential basement, maximising the site potential whilst minimising the build-ings impact on the exist-ing street scene. The de-sign makes use of skylights to flood the building with natural light and avoiding issues of overlooking from neighbouring properties. It has amenity space on each floor including a sunken courtyard in the basement level providing high levels of ventilation to every area of the home.

The proposal was to de-molish a set of three exist-ing lock up garages on a small site in Wandsworth and replace it with a three bedroom house which comprises one storey and a basement. It is the intention of this proposal to reduce the overall visual impact on it’s surrounding context. The dwelling incorperates an extensive green roof which provides excellent thermal insulation and is soft on the eye for neightbouring prop-erties. Its main living space is illuminated by a large sky-light, a focal feature of the compact dwelling.

This proposal looks to con-struct a new detached three bedroom single fam-ily dwelling. It will include private amenity space to the front and rear and off street parking. The proposal will be over two levels, one being a lower ground floor with 2 substantial sunken courtyards and with gener-ous glazed portions to allow maximum natural light to both floors. Overall the pro-posal aims to minimise its visual and overshadowing impact on the site and sur-rounding gardens with the single storey ground floor massing subservient to the adjacent properties. The design proposes to incorpo-rate a range of eco-friendly and energy saving materi-als and building techniques.

This proposal looks to con-truct a two bedroom dwell-ing with open plan kitchen/living space which is almost invisible from the general street scene. Tucked be-hind hedges similar to those which occupy the area and with an extensive green roof, this design manages to provide privacy to both the occupants and the neight-boring properties. It fea-tures a private area of gar-den and courtyard space recessed into the ground, allowing the two bedrooms on basement level to be flooded with natural light. Its ‘L’ shaped plan offers a spacious and comfortable familiy living environment and there are private park-ing facilities.

Hilldrop Crescent is a scheme to build two small semi-detached houses on the site of four lock-up garges in Islington. The site is incredibly tight and acco-modate these two houses, the bedrooms have been located in a newly built basement. The bedroom walls will be made of glass and will look into an internal courtyard. A sliding glass roof over a void at ground level will flood the light into the courtyard to bring day-light to bedrooms.

Located in Freshwater, land adjacent to Greystones Lane, Afton Down, this proposal pushes the boundaries of current sustainable thinking in terms of design and construction. Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the four-bedroom, single-storey, subterranean eco-home is embedded into the contours of the hillside to minimise the impact on the surrounding moorland and incorporates a roof of flora and meadow grasses which flows seamlessly over the property and into the landscape. The proposal looks to produce more energy than it consumes by utilizing a range of sustainable technologies including, photovoltaic cells, ground source heat pumps, and wind turbines amongst others.
