31/44 Architects

London-based 31/44 Architects have built Six Columns, a house for its architect owner and family on a garden plot in Crystal Palace, South East London. The design responds to a trapezoidal site with a large Sycamore tree, incorporating architectural detail from the neighbouring house and also from the owner’s travels. Conceived as a blend of a farmhouse and a California Case Study House, it reflects the directness of 1950s British architecture. The house is designed to evolve and prioritises shared spaces, minimising individual sleeping areas and contained rooms.
