Description:
Working with ARUP facades, Friend and Company have designed a new house based on a simple component concept: everything vertical is glass and everything horizontal is wood. Floors, worktop, bathroom vanity, stair treads and bookshelves are all made from structural timber planks supplied by the Danish company Dinesen. The final look is stripped-down modernism in tune with the original aspirations of the nearby Span Houses to create an economic utilitarian design where the quality of the finished materials can be fully appreciated.
