End House, Edgley Design's project completed in 2010, was one of the houses open to the public at this years Open House 2011.
The house in Croften Park, South East London, saw over 400 curious Londoners walk through its doors on Saturday 17th September.
Hosted by Jake, myself, and the owner Michael and his Mother, we entertained the usual array of interesting personalities; intrigued neighbours, fellow architects, diy enthusiasts and 'Grand-Design-ers' all came in their droves to inspect and glean tips on the art of modern domestic house building.
It was great to see how the owner Michael had personalised the spaces with his own furniture and style, and we were also delighted to hear how much he enjoyed living there.
A lovely lunch and only one awkward customer later, Jake and I headed off to see some fellow Open House properties, which included 2 Ashmead Mews, and the Duggan Morris house Kings Grove, the private residence of principals Joe Morris and Mary Duggan. The building has a composition of rich materials; the pink hue of the internal brick and the oak cabinet panelling complimenting the brass details. Jake's highlight was the exotic brass strip on the impressive glazing units. If it's open next year, go and see it, if only to have a nosey at their offices beautifully crafted models!
Thanks to all who came!
