CONTEMPORARY LIVING
Wandle Road, London SW17
Builders: ONEbuild
Architects: Studiovac
Overview
Located in the heart of Wandle Road, SW London, this striking contemporary house building project, carried out by OneBuild in collaboration with Studiovac demonstrates modern architectural finesse combined with thoughtful design details. Once an under-utilised site, it has been revitalised into a light-filled, beautifully roofed space offering both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.
Roofing & Natural Light: A standout feature is the elegant zinc roofing paired with a prominent apex skylight. These design elements allow for abundant natural light, reduce reliance on artificial lighting, and offer a visually striking profile from both inside and out.
Architecture & Materials: Under Studiovac’s design vision, the choice of contemporary materials (like zinc, glass, clean cladding) has been balanced with functional layout. The aesthetic merges modern minimalism with robust build quality.
Builder Excellence: OneBuild handled the construction with precision, ensuring high standards of finish, especially in roofing, joinery, and glazing. Their experience is on display in the tight tolerances and quality craftsmanship visible onsite.
Thoughtful Interiors: While the project retains a strong external presence, interior design has been focused on airy spaces, clean lines, and high-quality fixtures. The skylight and large windows draw the outside in, making interiors feel more spacious and inviting.
Sustainability / Efficiency: Zinc roofs offer excellent durability, weather resistance, and low maintenance. Natural light via the apex skylight helps to reduce energy usage. Where possible, energy-efficient materials and fixtures have been used to enhance performance.
Client & Purpose
Designed for clients seeking both form and function, this beautiful project serves as a showcase of modern renovation / build with an eye for quality and longevity. It’s ideal for those who value bright, open spaces and clean architectural lines.
