House 212

Through evaluation of the existing house spaces, their location to the River Stort and the orientation of the house, we devised a budget-friendly design by converting the garage, the biggest space not being used. Allowing us to form a new ground floor layout.

An existing large opening was altered to house a grander entrance door with hallway, and the old doorway used to connect the house to the garage with a contemporary ‘dining’ link! The first floor space was also reconfigured by way of re-locating doorways entering bedrooms, creating the feel of a brand new house!

To avoid the flood zone, we left the back garden untouched. The proposed link connecting to the converted garage is at the front of the house,  outside of the flood zone, thus ensuring a sustainable design despite climate change.
