Sunken House is a new residence designed by London based architect, David Adjaye. Located in the Hackney section of London, Sunken House shows Adjaye’s strong sense of materiality and light. We wish more interior photos were available.

A three storey house in conservation area of De Beauvoir town in Hackney. The site has been excavated to basement level creating a sunken patio on which the house a partly prefabricated solid timber structure is placed.

One enters the house at street level via parts of the lower ground floor roof which also provide off street car parking. All facades of the house as well as vertical and horizontal surfaces of the concrete patio are clad in timber rainscreen creating the impression of a continuous surface that embraces the enclosed and open spaces.
