Aylands House

Ayland’s house is a new family dwelling located in Enfield – a unique location in the dense city fabric of London. Ayland’s House differs from it surrounding building by having a flat green roof, not the typical Sub-urban English house but it has its own unique features. As well as referencing the existing historical surroundings in materials and details, but at the same time offering a new interpretation and rejuvenation of the typology.

The design follows the same logic as the traditional town house hierarchy, in terms of plot ratio, height and depth. Whereas it follows its own path with the flat roof, mimicking the characteristic of the Modern era.

The volume is set back from the road allowing for a small front yard softening the division of public and private zones, and different levels of extrusion allow variation in the houses typologies.
