"A Hidden Gem.

The kind of project where every detail has a reason.

A new house concealed behind a reconstructed garden wall in Kennington. Designed by Inglis Badrashi Loddo and built around a central courtyard, Cleaver Square sits quietly within its Georgian conservation setting without announcing itself. The project was published in Dezeen, the Architects Journal, New Atlas and Yanko Design, and featured in Dezeen’s top five houses of June 2026."

Thanks Mandarin Stone for the lovely article

A house that gives nothing away from the street, and everything once you’re inside.

“The plan refuses to feel cramped because the architects choreographed sightlines rather than simply subdividing rooms.

“An open kitchen and dining area anchors the centre, opening onto the courtyard through sliding glazed doors, its calm overhead broken by the rhythm of white-washed timber joists and grounded by a custom plywood kitchen.”

IBLA’s Walled courtyard house has been featured in the Architects’ Journal.

“Inglis Badrashi Loddo has transformed a former walled garden and car park into a compact home for one of its long-term clients. The home is built on a highly constrained infill site behind a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse, which the practice refurbished more than a decade ago.”

“The memory of the original walled garden informed every aspect of the scheme, from the inward-looking arrangement of rooms to the material palette of reclaimed brick and lime mortar. Rather than inserting something overtly contrasting into the historic setting, we wanted the house to feel rooted in its context, as though it had quietly always belonged there.”

"What sits behind the wall is in fact a house. You would never know it was there and that is the point. What it represents is something quite important, a demonstration that it is possible to build within a sensitive urban environment, not to disturb its equilibrium, and keep the locals on side..... It is a small house with a big lesson"

IBLA's Walled Courtyard house is included in a new book about Cleaver Square published last week: 'Round Cleaver Square: The First Georgian Square in South London' by Aileen Reid.

“THIS HIDDEN LONDON HOME LIVES BEHIND A GARDEN WALL – AND IT’S PURE GENIUS”

Just past the southeast corner of Cleaver Square in Kennington, south London, sits a weathered brick wall with a painted timber gate. From the street, it looks like nothing more than a garden boundary — unremarkable, quiet, entirely in keeping with the 18th-century square around it. Step through t...
