Ghost Houses is a minimal residence located in London, United Kingdom, designed by Fraher & Findlay. The design proposals look to explore a slim configuration of the traditional terrace house. The ‘narrow’ houses use angled rooflights /windows to bring in light to the plan and minimize the bulk and form of the traditional lean too outrigger extension. Rear elevated gardens provide visual interest at ground, first and second floor level rooms. The submerged rear extensions provide living spaces appropriate for the 2-3 bedroom dwelling extending further out into the garden the traditional building line. The submerged aspect ensures that the garden walls remain low level, protecting the neighbors garden amenity and lighting to existing windows.
