"This house notes the scale of its neighbour (a familiar kind of urban scale building driven by the site itself and planning criteria), inherits this for the purposes of proportion and then modulates it gradually as the building elevation wraps the corners of the (small) site. It is a bookend. The land's awkward shape and size dictated the narrow form. It has parkland views and sunlight to the north and so it opens itself to this aspect with a double-height glass window and void screened by full height curtains. The exterior of this façade is in the process of being greened by creepers encouraged up a series of steel cables held taut between the ground and the roof." - Robert Simeoni
