Six Columns

by 31/44 Architects

Client Sam & Will Burges

Award RIBA London Award 2024, RIBA London Small Project of the Year

Six Columns is a house for one of the founders of the 31/44 Architects practice along with his partner and their two children, designed to meet the family’s changing needs over many years. It is set in patches of gardens acquired from neighbours – joined together, they created a plot worthy of a family home that completes a row of semi-detached houses in the leafy neighbourhood.

The jury were impressed by the design’s efficiency, as much as its inventive, sophisticated use of space and materials. A single air-source heat pump also provides all the house requires for heating and washing, with bills a fraction of typical running costs.
