How Architect Tom Bestwick Transformed a Storage Yard into 3 Stunning London Homes

Step inside this incredible architectural project in Balham, London, designed and developed by Tom Bestwick. What was once an awkward storage yard has been completely reimagined into three striking new build homes. With their bold diamond-shaped design, soaring vaulted ceilings, and private rear patio gardens, these contemporary houses show how clever architecture can transform even the trickiest of plots into stunning homes full of light and space. In this full property tour, we take you through the entire development alongside Tom himself. You’ll see how the homes connect seamlessly to Tooting Common with a private gate, and how the central landscaped garden brings nature right into the heart of the community. Beautiful brickwork, zinc-clad roofs, and large solar-controlled glazing all combine to create homes that feel modern yet rooted in their surroundings. Tom also shares his design process and the story behind the project, from demolition and build stage through to the finished homes you’ll see today. Sustainability is at the core of this project. Each house is constructed from timber rather than traditional blockwork, locking in carbon and improving energy efficiency. If you’re passionate about modern architecture, sustainable new builds, or simply love seeing how London’s residential design continues to evolve, this is a project you won’t want to miss.
