Blackheath Society Architecture Group Visit to The Wooden Anex

 A unique opportunity to visit this exquisite project by Tsuruta Architects. A full refurbishment of a 1950 end-of-terrace house with a new single story timber annex. The ground floor space flows from the living area to the garden, integrating new dining and kitchen areas. With timber foundation beams, posts, and a plywood waffle slab the project responds to site constrains such as tree roots and has reduced embodied CO2 by 70% if compared to the traditional brick and concrete foundations. 

 The house sits near the ancient woodlands of Sydenham and the estate project is a celebration of Austin Vernon and Partners' modernist post war vision. Their Dulwich Development Plan took 15 years to complete, with houses in park-like settings, free of fences, with lush planting, mature trees and the parking in separate courts or 'en-bloc' garage areas, similar to the Span developments in Blackheath and Greenwich. 

 We will be guided by Taro Tsuruta, founder of Tsuruta Architects. Taro is a Japanese architect graduated at the AA School in London. He worked with leading London design practices on complex multi-award-winning projects before setting up his own studio.
