Hi


Open House invitation: Forest Mews, 56a Rockbourne Road, SE23 2DD.


Are you struggling to find an affordable space to build your dream home in East Dulwich? Come and see how two local award-winning architects Robert Barker, director of Baca Architects, and his wife Jessica Lawrence have managed to squeeze three cool and innovative new homes on to a tiny triangular-shaped plot in SE23.


The canny build is now well underway with the houses due to be opened as part of the 2013 Open House scheme, enabling Londoners to see how, with clever design and spatial planning, it?s possible to create a spacious urban oasis in the heart of a city.


Unfazed by having to contend with 32 party walls, the couple has redeveloped a series of dilapidated buildings and created three bespoke homes ? loaded with green eco features - in a smart mews development surrounded by traditional Victorian stock. The houses have green roofs and will also be clad with striking greenery to the walls; with a variety of plants creating a slice of the country in the midst of South East London. Robert Barker said: ?Our small site is highly typical of many misshapen plots found stranded within tightly-packed urban areas across the Capital. Such scrubby strips of land are frequently overlooked but are actually ideal for anyone who wants to live in a certain postcode. This unique plot has enabled us to build our first home plus two other houses to help fund the development, I would definitely recommend it to others in the same position. We will be pleased to show aspiring home-owners how we did it and share our design/planning knowledge over the Open House weekend.?


Nearest rail: Forest Hill. Buses: 185,197.

Booking is essential.

Open Sat 21st and Sun 22nd September, from 10am to 5pm, last entry 4.30pm.

Tours will take place every 45 minutes, with personal insights and advice from Robert and Jessica.

Book at: [email protected]

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
