Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Hindmans Yard in East Dulwich, London by Foster LomasApril 8th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Foster Lomas The project consists of four houses built on a backland site surrounded by Victorian terrace homes. Situated on an awkward site with limited access, Foster Lomas have created four, high-performance houses which demonstrate the potential to create contextually driven, high-quality architecture, locked within backland sites throughout London.

The brick toothing details echo those found on the neighbouring Victorian terraces, with patterned steel continuing the detailing motif.

Inside the palette is refined to create a candid backdrop for modern living which affords for personalisation by the occupants.

Every room in the house is daylit and combines with 3m floor to ceiling heights to provide generous living spaces.

Bio-diverse carbon-capturing roofs have also been installed as part of a research project with the University of Brighton. The houses are built to a Passivhaus standard and achieve a Code for Sustainable Homes level 4.
