The final video tour published in collaboration with this year's Open House London festival spotlights Walters Way, a collection of 13 adaptable houses in Lewisham that were self-built by their owners with the help of architect Walter Segal.
Filmed by Jim Stephenson, the documentary is one of a series of video tours of rarely-published places in the capital, commissioned by Open House London for its 2020 programme.
Walters Way is a collection of unusual timber-framed houses in south London, developed as a result of an innovative council-run self-build housing scheme in the 1980s.
They were built on a derelict site that was offered up to people on Lewisham's housing waiting list who were willing to construct their own homes, using the pared-back building method of modernist architect Segal. A close-up of two self-built houses in Walters Way
"In the 1970s, there was a housing crisis and there was a very long list of people on the waiting list in Lewisham wanting houses," explained Alice Grahame, a resident of Walters Way.
"There were about five or six people at Lewisham Council, who were interested in doing something quite progressive," she said in the video.
"They started to discuss whether it would be possible to do a Walter Segal self-build scheme that was funded by the Council, and that would allow ordinary people who were on the council waiting lists to actually build their own homes, and then live in them."
