Located in a conservation area in West London, Pitman Tozer recently finished the ‘Gap House.’ Situated on a plot only 2.3m wide, the ‘Gap House‘ proves that sustainable architecture is achievable without compromise on the tightest of urban sites. Built using green strategies in mind, the house incorporates solar technology, high levels of insulation, a ground coupled heat pump, and rainwater harvesting to minimize its carbon footprint. The challenge: create a low carbon building comfortable 4-bed family home that maximizes light and space within the constraints of a tight plot. The solution: stack the smaller bedrooms at the front of the house facing the street and organize the rear in a cascading configuration. The courtyard at the rear of the property allows light to filter into the ground floor, while the central twisting timber staircase acts as a sculpture that brings daylight into the center of each floor. The house is designed to use approximately 30% of the energy of a typical house built to current building regulations. Without further delay, check out the images of the ‘Gap House‘ below.
