addition to the attention paid to the
look of the home we also wanted to
future- proof the house and minimise
its environmental impact. For this
reason the photovoltaic cells on the
roof terrace are hidden from view.
This feature, in addition to the high
insulation levels, means that the
home costs less to run and is cooler
in the summer and warmer in the
winter despite the expansive areas of
glass. Our attention to detail did not
stop here. To provide the clients with
their perfect living environment we
designed for them a bespoke kitchen
island and a master suite wet- room
with every aspect of the space drawn
for them before work started.
We worked with the clients to ensure
that all their fixtures and fittings were
exactly as they would like and that
the interior of the house was crisp and
clutter free with concealed routes for
the wiring and electrical fittings. This
was all done before the project was
sent for pricing.
Arguably this home has become the
work most recognisable and most
associated with the practice as one of
our earliest projects. Our aim was to
create a sensational experience upon
arrival at the home and link the new
and existing spaces together in a more
communicative and exciting way. The
house is now unrecognisable and has
been completely transformed into
something of a local landmark.”
