Innovative reuse of a derelict substation delivers four contemporary family homes in East Sheen
This approved scheme in East Sheen transforms a redundant electricity substation into four high-quality family homes. The design embraces the site’s layered character, retaining elements of the existing brickwork while introducing contemporary detailing and warm, natural materials. Generous windows and carefully framed outdoor spaces maximise light and connections to the landscaped gardens, while interiors are designed for modern family living. The scheme demonstrates how sensitive intensification can deliver much-needed housing within established suburban settings, enhancing the street frontage and optimising underused land. It balances contextual respect with architectural ambition, providing sustainable, well-designed homes in a highly constrained site.
