Paradise Lane is situated on a hill , and the steep gradient over the whole site posed another significant technical challenge . The team worked hard to incorporate the changing levels , creating a double height entrance hall and viewing platforms throughout .
HSSP adopted a ‘ fabric first ’ approach : the house is built from natural stone , each block hand carved on site by a small team of skilled stone masons . Their results were exceptional as was their meticulous attention to detail , and their work was recognised with a Merit of Craftsmanship Award and an LABC commendation .
