Spencer Courtyard is a collection of five contemporary homes in Finchley, designed by award-winning practice, Kennedy Twaddle. The project has transformed a former merchant’s yard, into a private gated mews, comprising three single-storey houses and two apartments.

The varying mass and volume of the Courtyard, characterised by angular pitched sedum roofs and intricate brickwork, establishes a dynamic visual dialogue, celebrating materiality and craft in a truly modern approach to living.

This particular three-bedroom house is the largest in the courtyard and incorporates a private courtyard, beautiful double-pitched roofs with exposed eaves, handmade birch-ply kitchen units, oak parquet throughout and expansive sections of glazing, to aid the flow of light deep across the plan.

Access is gained via a private courtyard garden, delineated with intricate hit-and-miss brickwork. Internal accommodation extends to 1,016 sq ft across a single storey. The plans, utilise large sections of glazing to bathe each room in wonderful levels of natural light, while the raised pitch of each roof accentuates dramatically the sense of volume throughout.

A master bedroom with en-suite shower room is positioned to one side of the entrance and has glazed doors which open out directly onto the courtyard garden. To the other side of the entrance, there is a family bathroom. Arguably the most impressive space is the large, open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. These spaces have a bespoke, handmade kitchen with black-fronted birch ply units. The signature pitched roofs create a dramatic sense of volume and the exposed eaves, chime elegantly with the solid oak parquet which run throughout the house’s plan.

Spencer Courtyard is tucked away behind Regents Park Road. The courtyard itself is accessed via private entrance and is gated. There is space for residents’ parking within the courtyard.
