Bella Mews / New Housing / North London The dual-aspect units are designed to be flexible in their layout, bright and spacious. Thoughtfully composed high quality brick detailing is utilised throughout, varying in response to the different conditions of each respective side of the site. The resulting elevations are robust but highly characterful.

Bella Mews / New Housing / North London The building was conceived as a solid pale red brick mass that has been carefully sculpted, with deep setbacks and undercuts as well as deep window reveals providing a strong sense of relief. The external stairs leading to the dwelling on the first storey are an inherent part of the character of the frontage, and a celebrated part of the architecture, drawing upon historic ‘mews’ house references albeit in a contemporary manner. Both properties have their own front door and are accessed directly from the street, an important consideration for us as a practice. The frontage is animated by a composition of patterned brickwork and relief.

Novak Hiles Architects has been shortlisted for the Young Architect of the Year Award. Earlier this year BD announced all the architects who made it on to the shortlists for our prestigious annual Architect of the Year Awards. Now we are shining the spotlight on each category in turn and publishing a selection of the images that impressed the judges. The practice believes in architecture that is ‘practical, sensitive to its context and infused with character and delight’. Bella Mews is a new build development of two, dual-aspect dwellings on a brownfield garage site in Enfield, North London. Perforated House is a retrofit of a 1960s, ex-council home in South London with a decorative brickwork screen. The entry is completed by two residential schemes with planning permission in Hackney Wick and Barnet. https://lnkd.in/eFNjhz9q #architecture #AYAs #AYAs20in24

A few months ago we sold one of our latest projects in Barnet. We had a refreshingly smooth ride with this project, taking the scheme through pre app, full app, to gaining planning approval from Barnet Council and completing on the sale, all within just 4 months. This was made even smoother by the quality, professional team we worked with Novak Hiles Architects West Green Planning Ltd Highfield Investments with more great visuals from HAZE viz 👏
