An Urban Sanctuary in the Trees – Trace Architects Featured in Enki Magazine


We are pleased to share that our recent collaboration with YAM Studios has been featured in Enki Magazine. This project, located on the edge of a Wimbledon golf course, exemplifies our commitment to creating urban sanctuaries that harmonise architecture with nature.

Designed to blend seamlessly with its wooded surroundings, this home offers a tranquil retreat within the city. Expansive glazing frames the lush landscape, while a carefully selected palette of natural materials ensures the home evolves beautifully over time. Thoughtful spatial planning allows for a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, reinforcing the balance between privacy and openness.

Enki Magazine explores the design philosophy, material choices, and collaborative process behind this project, offering insight into how contemporary architecture can enhance urban living without compromising on tranquillity.
