Sandy Rendel Architects

Based in London, Sandy Rendel Architects crafts civic and residential building envelopes defined by heavy structural massing softened by perforated screenwork, deeply embossed metal paneling, and slender rain-leader details. This portfolio offers a strong reference for balancing privacy and tactile depth when specifying light-filtering masonry screens, textured metal panels, or integrated drainage accents on modern facades.

Two-story brick country house with a deep colonnade and slim metal railings by Sandy Rendel Architects.

241 SRA Bury Gate Farm SE 17 Mobile B4bb23ba

A rural residential facade featuring a deep two-story colonnade and rhythmic brick piers that anchor the building into a sloping landscape.

What we like about this project

Geometry
Two-story orthogonal volume fronted by a prominent colonnade supporting deep projecting balconies and a flat roof overhang.
Facade system
Buff brick masonry piers and walls paired with floor-to-ceiling glass openings and slender metal balustrades.
Structural guess
Concrete frame or reinforced masonry columns supporting cast concrete floor plates.
Spatial scale
Two-story domestic or rural pavilion scale with a tall ground colonnade.
Lighting
Diffused overcast daylight creating soft shadows underneath the deep structural overhangs.
Atmosphere
Calm and grounded, framed by mature trees and soft overcast light.
Environmental context
Set into a sloping green lawn backed by dense deciduous woodland.
Spatial experience
Approaching across the sloping lawn, the deep shadowed colonnade creates a layered threshold between landscape and interior rooms.
Composition rhythm
Repeating cylindrical and square brick piers establish a measured horizontal bays sequence.
