Carefully considered spaces that respond to the orientation of the site and generously sized windows and a large horizontal rooflight positioned over the north facing part of the house ensures that sunlight reaches every room all year round. The result is an elegant and well-proportioned contemporary house that successfully reflects the characteristics of the locality without compromising its individuality.

A crisp contemporary treatment has been realised by the use of simple and elegant detailing and a subtle mixture of a small palette of materials with clay roof tiling and rendered upper floor walls over a warm multi-coloured red brick base. This is complemented by the use of powder-coated aluminium windows and timber slatted screens designed to allow secure ventilation at night and solar shading during the day, and projecting bay and dormer window elements clad in pre-weathered zinc which is then continued through into eaves and fascia elements.
