GROSVENOR AVENUE
FOURTH_SPACE
Grosvenor Avenue by fourth_space began as a project in 2014
with the architect suggesting to an independent developer that
they could deliver a design-led project that challenged the bog-
standard approach to materials and finishes associated with
small developments. Set on the infill site once occupied by
poor quality two-storey semi-detached houses, the building was
conceived as a sensitive re-working of the architecture found in
the European townhouse typology, adapted to sit within a large
Victorian Islington terrace.
Though embroiled in politicized planning issues that delayed
construction, the 10-unit scheme started on site in early 2017
and was completed in June 2018. The result is a high-quality
infill building that sits calmly within it’s suburban surrounding
and offers it’s occupants generous space with quality materials
inside.
