In a unique architectural approach this London house blends two living spaces into one home.
Each side of the home functions independently, complete with its own kitchen, living spaces, and en suite bedrooms connected by a central studio with a two-in-one house style.
We take a tour through the home that is now for sale for £3.5 million and see how the architects have masterminded the layout to this property.

The front of the house uses long-profile Geobricks, used to emphasise the horizontal lines of the home, creating a subtle façade that contrasts with the large windows.
Two separate driveways lead to independent entrances on either side, with a garage positioned to the left. Inside, the rooms on either side of the central studio overlook a courtyard garden, with polished concrete floors and recessed lighting throughout the ground level.
Kitchens fitted with concrete worktops are installed on both sides of the house, along with open-plan living and dining spaces that lead onto the rear garden through sliding glass doors.
