Intricately designed and compact, the Hut-on-a-roof is an entirely timber ‘mini-building’ dropped into the Clerkenwell roofscape to create an autonomous urban haven and working kitchen for a local designer. With a sliding glass roof, solar panels, wood-burning stove and sheep’s wool insulation the building takes ideas from both hide-away tree houses and the suburban garden shed.

A musician couple living in a Victorian detached house in north London approached My Architect to unlock the potential of their home. My Architect converted the loft and created a whole new living space at the top of the house complete with built-in storage and inset sun terrace to overlook their beautiful garden.
