5 metre WIDE PLOT

A client has approached me asking advice on a piece of garden 5 metres wide would accommodate a dwelling. After a site visit and weighing up all the issues involved I said that this could be a potential building plot. So a planning application is going forward for a Contemporary house

Front Facade. The front part of the plot opens up to 8 metres allowing ample car parking

 Rear Facade showing the third bedroom within the Loft area set at the rear. Note the central court  which will flood light into the house

OPTIONS FOR FAMILY KITCHEN

Clients Brief
1.  Replace kitchen and Conservatory and construct family kitchen.

4.  It should be warm in winter and not hot in summer.
5.  Clean lines and no frills.
6.  Family orientated space.
7.  Budget to override timetable.
8.  Finish to be more important than total area.
9.  Capture rear garden.
10. Contemporary but not high fashion.

What the above does not show is that the existing Conservatory is abutted to the rear wall. This means that the new roof above the rear construction can house a number of roof lights which will throw ambient light back into the house. This in tandem with the rear foldaway doors can flood the kitchen with light
