Here’s some text from Alison Brooks Architects:
Two 400sqm houses, designed by Alison Brooks Architects for Lyford Investments, have recently been completed in Wandsworth, London.

Named “Herringbone Houses” for the unique patterning to the timber façades, the two buildings overlook the South London .

Each open-plan house is composed of two surfaces of herringbone timber and graphite render that extend from exterior to interior to form walls, floors, external decking and fences.

Elements of the timber cladding were prefabricated so that the installation cost was equivalent to standard weatherboarding.
