Designer David Sanderson self-built this Stoke Newington property, building it on the site of a garden in brick and timber to fit in with the conservation area’s vernacular without falling foul of pastiche. The building embraces Sanderson’s love of Ettore Sottsass and playful postmodernism, with stark black brick contrasting oak, and lots of curving details. Spaces open onto a central courtyard garden, with floor to ceiling glass and lots of hidden details to be found throughout. Take a closer look.
