STUDIOCARVER

About
STUDIOCARVER is an architecture and design practice founded by Keith Carver. Our work ranges from commercial projects to individual homes and bespoke furniture. Across all sectors, from the thrill of engaging with a new design problem, to its detail, construction and completion, is a commitment to finding solutions that are right for the client, their brief and the surroundings. We believe the role of good design is to enhance environments for people. Our approach develops an architecture through observation and investigation; architecture that responds to material, light, environment, and most of all its users. We delight in finding innovations that make each project quietly extraordinary. At the same time we maintain always the core principles of sustainability and good design, ensuring our work remains functional and flexible. STUDIOCARVER encompasses over 15 years of experience in housing, offices, academic buildings and masterplanning. We offer a full range of architectural and design services, from site appraisals and concept designs to guiding complex schemes through the planning process and on to completion. We apply a rigorous eye to quality and detail but most important we pride ourselves on our relationships with our clients. We understand that true success is achieved through client satisfaction and put utmost importance on client engagement through all stages of the design process.

104 Mews House

This house is a self-contained single story two-bed flat with private access off a quiet Mews. Replacing an old dilapidated workshop and garage, the new accommodation is carefully integrated with its surroundings as it slots between adjacent properties and the existing ground floor terrace.

The design incorporates a small courtyard, and large, sculpted, south-facing rooflights. These provide excellent natural light while shielding the interior from overlooking views on a tight urban site. A green sedum roof enhances the biodiversity and character of the area, reducing rain water run-off, and providing a delicate spectrum of changing colours throughout the year.

Location: Haringey, London
Status: Completed Spring 2015
