Hartfield Crescent, Wimbledon SW19
Another award-winning project makes clever use of an urban infill site in Wimbledon. The corner-shaped new building that has been designed to cap off what previously looked like a very abrupt and ’unfinished’ end to a run of two terraces and has garnered a lot of very positive attention from local residents
Project Brief New Build residential house
Project Year 2022
Build Time 22 weeks
Location Wimbledon, London
Project Cost 360,000.00
Our Remit
Although it fits in seamlessly with the Victorian street scene, the house is in fact thoroughly up to date and energy efficient, featuring solar panels, smart control, high spec insulation and ventilation.
What We Did
Our team were working with a very tight plot on a busy crossroad and with restricted access, yet managed to complete the project without major road closures. We took care to retain an existing tree and carved out just enough space for a small garden for our clients to enjoy. Despite the garden, the site offered limited scope for soak-away — so to manage run-off, we added a sophisticated rainwater collection system underneath the road.
The Result
This project won London Master Builders Award 2023 in the category «House Builder Award».
The judges were impressed with our ability to work in such a limited space.
Our client commented: ‘the result was so good that people knocked on my door after the project was complete and asked for the builder’s details — there is no more a recommendation than that.’
