Mews House, Upper Gilmore Place

The site on upper Gilmore Place is extremely tight, the demolition of existing building provided an opportunity for the developer to create two narrow mews houses. Andrew Stoane’s three bedroom house fills the narrow plot with a spiral of rooms, on four half-levels, branching off a central, open stair. Planning restrictions outlawed the creation of views from anywhere on the plot except the small front elevation. The entrance level contains the kitchen and lobby, while the living space is half a level down opening on to a small courtyard and the dining level is half a floor up.
