Spareleaze Hill

A sustainable, replacement dwelling working hard within its design as it navigates the steep level constraints posed by the 6-meter slope from front to back, plus neighbouring daylight and privacy concerns. Our primary sustainable objective is fabric first construction, layered with ecological technologies.

The finished structure features an elegant design balancing the traditional with contemporary aesthetics. Our client-driven symmetrical frontage includes twin gables, double-fronted bays, and a feature arched entrance with modern bronze window frames and cast stone detailing - a tying together of old and new. The rear form is significantly more modern in design, featuring steps in the façade to break up the form and create harmony with the neighbours who both supported the scheme. A big help at the planning committee.

We capture the views of the landscaped gardens and track the sun's path, through our thoughtful positioning of window/door openings. The accommodation is designed for generational family living, including space provision for a future lift and a ground floor ‘granny annex’ if required. Living is for now, however it is just as critical to think about how to use a home as we get older.
