Full Details

Tucked away in the heart of Victoria Park, is a rare detached architectural villa designed by the acclaimed practice Liddicoat & Goldhill. The house was featured in Grand Designs, shortlisted for the RIBA House of the Year and the Manser Medal, a testament to its confident materiality, masterful use of space and unwavering attention to craft. Unfolding close to 2,400 sq. ft across four beautifully conceived storeys, the home moves between expansive entertaining areas and intimate private retreats, unified by a rich palette of exposed steel, timber and reclaimed mahogany.

At the heart of the house, a split-level arrangement defines the ground and lower-ground floors, where interconnected living spaces unfold as a sequence rather than a single volume. A west-facing lounge floats above a hand-built kitchen and dining area, which opens directly to the garden through three floor to ceiling striking pivot doors. Beneath, a lower-ground snug/cinema room, utility room and larder are tucked away, enhancing the functionality without compromising the flow.

On the upper floors, light and volume are again centre stage. A generous main suite sits to the rear, complete with a study, dressing area and an open-plan bathroom, softly divided by a sliding, textured wall. Another en suite bedroom occupies the front of the house, while the top floor is home to two further bedrooms flanking a family bathroom, all bathed in light from overhead glazing. Broad landings between levels are imagined not merely as corridors but as galleries, offering space to pause, display and reflect.un
The house is so named in celebration of the makers, the architects' hands-on approach is visible in every detail, from the reclaimed Rhodesian mahogany parquet (sourced from Hove Fire Station) to the rigorously modelled structure, optimised to bring sunlight into key spaces throughout the day.
