Design

 

In a garden plot situated a short walk from the sea we were provided with a brief to design a three-bedroom family home. With the sensitivity of the Conservation Area in mind, the proposed form reflects the traditional gable forms of the neighboring buildings.

 

A double gable design with two wings enables a response to the site context, with a central glazed link for visual connectivity from the front to the rear of the site and trees beyond. A mix of traditional stone walls and slate roof combine with contemporary detailing of standing seam metal, expressed steels lintels and crisp glazing creates this bespoke family home.
