This modern three-bedroom house lies on Field Road in Forest Gate, set amidst Victorian terraced houses and gardens. The house was sensitively designed by the owner, the director at Polysmiths, and constructed with a Douglas fir frame and blockwork. The aim of the project was to create a sanctuary while using a sustainable material palette, including an eclectic mix of tactile materials such as ash blockwork, lime render, and perforated aluminium, with cork used on the internal and external walls. There are three courtyards and a green roof laid with sedum.
