Housing Development

The brief was to design four houses with a total area of 1200sqm. This posed significant design problems as the gardens on one of the longest boundaries were at a lower level hence causing potential problems of overlooking and shadows.

The solution was to build an 'upside down ' house with the living accommodation on the ground floor and the bedrooms located on the lower ground. The design of the pitched roof was a direct response to overcoming the physical limitations and the careful consideration of a dynamic interior space for the living area.

Location: The site is located behind residential properties and surrounded by neighbouring gardens. The land originally accommodated garages but has been purchased as a separate plot for development.
