and dining room facing the rear garden. On
the first floor are two more bedrooms, one
with an en suite, and one next to the main
family bathroom. This flexible layout, with
an ample bathroom for each bedroom, can
easily accommodate young professionals
on a room by room basis, or a nuclear or
intergenerational family.
Hugh McEwen, partner at Office S&M, and
project architect for the house explained
“This new build-to-rent house is a study in
generosity for its inhabitants and context.
With our background in social and private
housing, we brought the best of both worlds
to this project. By taking a bespoke approach
to the site we were able to make the most
of the space through careful planning of
how the house could be used in the future.
We don’t produce quiet architecture, and
this house revels in colour and materiality,
which makes it a representation of the
contemporary age in which it has been built”.
