The property was shortlisted for the Royal Institute of British Architects' prestigious House of the Year awards and won the RIBA London Award 2022The white bricks cost 67p each. Architect James Macdonald Wright said he went for slimmer bricks to keep a contemporary feel. Architect James MacDonald Wright bought the site in 2009, but didn't begin building anything on it for another decade.Macdonald Wright spent £340,000 on construction, a relatively low sum for a property in London.Macdonald Wright Architects located the curved staircase in the middle of the home, rather than at the front, to open up the entrance and cope best with the narrow width.Relocating the stairs allowed the kitchen to be located at the front.
