London design studio Satish Jassal Architects creates the new Haringey Brick Bungalow design located on Turnpike Lane in Haringey. It is defined by its handmade brick construction that houses two bedrooms and can be found between a narrow passageway just between the commercial area by the high street.
It has a small site footprint so the designers maximized the efficiency when it came to its structure using staggered rectangular volumes that form two courtyards that are found at the back of the dwelling and at the entrance. Jassal notes that "This house is part of a family of brick houses that we have been developing over the last 10 years, often on tricky sites such as this one. All our homes share a common materiality and architectural language and are informed by an understanding of their particular place and the requirements of their residents."
