About the project
Kingston Villa won both a South East Regional Award and the South East Project Architect of the Year Award in 2024.
The awards citation says:
This is an exceptional family home that evidences the outstanding skills of its project architect, working for an engaged and supportive client. Standing in a residential street in Kingston, Surrey, it replaces a bungalow that was on the site when the client bought it with the intention of demolishing and building anew.
The architects they entrusted with the project have created a three-storey home of great quality and consistency. Its design is inspired by the features from its suburban built environment – friezes, bays, entrance porticos, and construction approach – reimagined into an architecture of today.
Bold white brickwork is contrasted with bronzed window frames, metalwork panels, and newly planted trees. Inside, interesting interwoven spaces include a partially double-height central hall built of the same high-quality, well-detailed white brick as the exterior, with an open-plan freestanding steel staircase.
The project is a great example of attention to detail and close collaboration between client and architect.
