National Trust
We are thrilled to be working collaboratively with the National Trust locally. 575 Wandsworth Road was the home of Khadambi Asalache for many years. Originally from Kenya, he was hugely talented particularly in the areas of writing, architecture and mathematics. Whilst he lived there, Khadambi transformed his house into a unique and stunning work of art mixing Islamic, English and African influences. When he died the National Trust decided to preserve 575 Wandsworth Road as he had left it.
