FEATURE: A DOWNSIZER HOME
19th December 2016
We were commissioned to design a new home for a couple who were downsizing and wanted a house in the grounds of their B-listed house in a pretty Arts and Crafts village. The new house had to be affordable and good value with one wow space. It had to run economically and be energy efficient. The living area needed to be upstairs to maximise light and views. And the existing B-listed house had to be respected in terms of its features, including access, architectural merits and aspect. With considerable experience in conservation architecture we know the importance of respecting existing buildings, particularly where they have been listed.
