The project
FMD Architects designed Pitch House, built by Creato Homes and completed in 2021. Joined to a neighbouring twin, the house had a broken-up plan that the project reworks into a series of defined spaces opening into one generous interior.
The design develops around the pitch, a form that rises to a high window and echoes the slope of the existing roof, bringing light deep into the house. Timber-lined ceilings, polished concrete floors and timber-framed sliding doors connect the living spaces to a side courtyard and the rear garden.
