• Produced 2d and 3d documentation

for presentation and DA purposes.

• Worked directly with Richard in developing and finalising the design.

• The main thrust of the design is to build a house which exploits the natural contours of the site.

A formal plan with spaces that organises them self linearly around a central “function” roof lit spine capped in section with a single level profiled roof and sits on a sloping site. This allows a growth in section height from single to double story. All the major public rooms together with the master bedroom are placed on the largely glazed garden elevation, each room being spatially connected to its neighbours and to its respective terrace, each having a level difference of approximately one metre.

Both major elevations detach the roof so that it appears to “float” above the masonry walls. Down the centre of the roof is a south facing roof light. Materials are rubble stone to match existing garden walls, white render, steel and hardwood windows and a high performance grey felt roof.
