The elevation of this plot provided a stunning viewpoint of the surrounding Essex countryside and London skyline – however the original bungalow simply didn’t do it justice.
Our resulting design is a modern take on open-plan living, providing flow and privacy for a multi-generational home.
The main entrance is angled, creating space for a central feature staircase housed within a render wrap/slate facade. This is flooded with natural light from the glazed curtain walling to make a dramatic entrance to the property.
The split-slate cladding provides a textured feature to the entrance and relates to the black slate roof of the property, tying the colour palette together.
We used a simple selection of materials to complement the new build’s unique form, creating a stunning piece of architecture. This project is our first new-build home using high-performance SIPs (structured insulated panels) construction.
We moved the accommodation to the side elevation that overlooks fields and the central London skyline. This view had previously been closed off by the original building’s orientation.
A master suite with vaulted ceilings provided an opportunity to introduce unique angled windows, matching the pitch of the roof and balcony.
