An expertly conjured combination of light and tactile materials has created an exceptional three-bedroom house with a uniquely grounded and welcoming atmosphere. A contemporary extension designed by David Money uses exacting joinery, concrete floors and expansive glazing to elevate this traditional Victorian terrace to something entirely its own. Situated on a leafy street beside Ruskin Park, the house's enveloping gardens disguise its proximity to the lively centres of Camberwell, Herne Hill and Brixton, all a short walk away.
