Nick Baker Architects

Villa Caroisla, London

Villa Caroisla is a detached 4 bedroom ‘eco house’ built on backland in west London. As a self-build project by the architect, the design was inspired by the sylvan setting and the environmental conditions of the site.

Split into two adjoining forms, the house is predominately glazed at the ground floor to connect to garden spaces and allow natural daylight deep into the building. Clad in western red cedar, the home boasts a raft of sustainable features.
