Summary

Stylus Architects has completed Green Lodge, a partially submerged family home in Roehampton Village, southwest London. The house sits on a constrained site on the edge of Putney Heath, surrounded by mature trees, a gothic revival church, Victorian villas, and Arts and Crafts architecture. The design features a series of sunken lightwells that bring daylight into rooms set below ground level, addressing the challenge of building on a restricted site while maintaining privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape.
