We are Proud to be Featured on Architecture Today

We are absolutely thrilled that Architecture Today (widely respected for its outstanding design, authoritative writing and insightful analysis by high-profile architects and commentators) has featured Stables Yard in its latest edition!

“Designed by Stolon Studio, Stables Yard comprises six homes and a coach house located on a backland site set between Victorian terraces in Beckenham, London. Conceived as an exemplar low-carbon, flood-resilient development, the brief from the developer/contractor client was simple: build the best possible houses for the site – homes to be proud of, not just now but into the future.

The building form, which was developed in response to site constraints, flood-risk, easements, outlook and privacy, lends itself to modern methods of construction, says the architect. This appealed to the client as it provided an opportunity to showcase the strengths of his team in joinery and carpentry. The off-site manufactured timber frame is clad in colourful yet durable cementitious planks to a carefully coordinated, but seemingly random pattern. This arrangement not only facilitates a subtle play of dappled light filtered through the surrounding trees, but also creates a distinct unifying identity.” Architecture Today
