Replacing a 1960s bungalow that previously occupied the site, this contemporary villa nestles strikingly into the topography – which has been manipulated to create 3 storeys of accommodation to include a large open-plan living space, cinema and swimming pool. The house is formed with a combination of timber cladding, render and areas of floor-to-ceiling glazing, which together create a modern interpretation of suburban chic overlooking the River Thames.
