Buschow Henley's private
houses emerge out of a particular circumstance – from the site, from
the brief and from our thoughts about constructing in a responsible
way.
We are particularly interested in the way a family
might live in a home, about how it could change over time, and in
the relationship between inside and outside, building and land, house
and garden. We are also keen to integrate environmental ideas that
will endorse a particular way of life. Ultimately it is the quality
of construction materials, light and air which will most tangibly
affect the experience of dwelling.
The practice has designed apartments and houses. The Phelan Barker
House designed for a young couple in Essex was short-listed for an
RIBA Award for Architecture in 2001. The Barge Murphy Apartment, one
of 50 units in our mixed-use development Shepherdess Walk, was featured
in the Architectural Review also in 2001. St. Monica’s Penthouse
constructed on top of E.W. Pugin’s Grade II listed Board School
in Hoxton Square was published in Architecture Today February 2005
and True Principles, The journal of the Pugin Society in Summer 2005.
Two Houses in Hackney, one built for an architect, the other for an
art-collector, was published in Architecture Today in July 2006 and
received a Hackney Design Award in 2007. |
