This Wimbledon house was born when architects Erbar Mattes were tasked with replacing a 1930s chalet bungalow with a new family home. Set within the early suburban landscape of South London, with many highly crafted Edwardian houses, the original house was out of place and out of scale.The replacement dwelling is substantially larger, and has more in common with its Edwardian neighbours, albeit with a layout more attuned to modern lifestyles and energy use requirements.
