Description
Completed in 2018 Walmer Yard forms a discreet and private set of four interlocking houses, set around an open communal courtyard. This building, designed and crafted by Peter Salter together with Fenella Collingridge, and developed by Crispin Kelly, is the reflection of a long education and the product of a decade of learning, thought and inspiration. From the play of light, shadow and colour, to the intense celebration of materials and constantly fresh sequences of spaces, these houses celebrate what architecture can deliver at the domestic scale.
Upon entering the house off the private communal courtyard you are greeted by the impressive, spacious and bright kitchen/dining room. This has a very open feel making it a great place to entertain.
The principal bedroom, and second bedroom are located on the first floor. They both benefit from having en suites and their own terraces.
The second floor hosts the living room and an additional bathroom. The living room has a warm feel, while also being bright due to natural light from the windows and wooden flooring.
The lower ground floor of the house is accessed via the uniquely designed staircase which leads to the generous reception room.
