Achieving planning permission was straightforward despite being located in conservation area near a nature reserve.
From the street the house is of a similar scale This project began with the clients' wish to build a house for their elderly parents at the end of their garden.
Achieving planning permission was straightforward despite being located in conservation area near a nature reserve. From the street the house is of a similar scale to the existing garages and finished in white render.
The garden elevations are clad in a timber sympathetic to their surroundings and all that can be seen of the structure from the hill beyond is the sedum roof covering the house.
The south elevation has a deep overhang to shade the large glazed doors and windows in summer and provide a 'porch' for accessing the garden. By exploiting the natural slope of the site, the lower floor is well lit by large windows and was designed to provide an independent space for a future carer with direct access to the garden.
The house if of timber-framed construction built with sustainability and a modest budget in mind.
