# Columned Entrance Family Homes 31/44 Architects Created the 6 Columns Home in Southeast London By Amy Duong | Published 2024-08-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/6-columns References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/08/05/31-44-architects-unveils-6-columns-house-in-london/) & [3144architects](https://www.3144architects.com/)  31/44 Architects director WIll Burges has designed the 6 Columns home, which was created for his family in [Southeast London's Crystal Palace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elemental-house). It is defined by its columned entrance which is joined by a [two-story structure and four bedrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-house) -- all of which are made with brick and have concrete beams. The home nods to the California Case Study houses with an [open plan living space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openfield-house) and traditional bedrooms. Burges explains the design process to Dezeen, noting that "Because there was a failed planning application we knew we had to make the story quite obvious and strong. We always start with context at 31/44 Architects. We like things to be at some level part of the background or the natural fabric of the place so they feel like they belong."
