The Newington Green Road four-story home in North London neighborhood was designed by Amenity Space to maximize the available building footprint without sacrificing sustainability or affordability. The infill project took advantage of recycled building components, a green roof, natural wool insulation and air-source heating.
The Newington Green Road home’s interior work relies on design, not exotic materials. Clever use of common building components and design features, such as a light shaft stairwell, help to make the interior space light and friendly.
