Linden Grove

Located in a verdant green corner of London, the project for 9 Passivhaus apartments attempts to create a new London benchmark for low-carbon, net-zero housing. Our aim was to design a resilient building that looked towards the next 100 years, comfortably suited for adapting to climatic changes and the needs of the residents Simple but carefully tailored massing helps to resolve the intricacies of the infill site and  semi-urban setting. After extensive testing a strategy was developed that used a sculptural balcony frame to act as an environmental mediator for the apartments, providing shade, privacy and amenity space.
