[...] Do you konw? The Herringbone Houses are two 400sqm houses and integrated landscape located in a wooded back land site overlooking the South London Bowls Club for private developer Lyford Investments. Each open-plan house is composed of two continuous planes of herringbone timber and graphite render surfaces that form walls, floors, external decking and fences. The 3 storey 5 bedroom houses have full basements with storage, guest accommodation and a games room. The ground floor is conceived as an open plan living, family and kitchen area wrapped around a central double height hall open to the sky with a 3x2m roof light. The hall is a double height atrium at the centre of the house with a sculptural oak staircase hanging in the middle of the space.

What timber type is being used for the cladding?

Very glamorous but is it that easy to live in?

There is a “vogue” for timber cladding which used to be banned in London. If you look at very many of the buildings erected in the last ten years with timber cladding you can see that it’s beginning to deteriorate in terms of appearance and also potentially of performance. These buildings should be revisited in ten years. There’s alot of endgrain around and being cut on the diagonal it’s asking for trouble.

Stupid. A very handsome modernist building spoiled with decoration. Many other beautiful details, especially the ‘picture frame’ windows.
