The Challenge To design a 5 bed house with attached garage via car port.
The Solution The proposed dwelling follows a narrow plan footprint with single storey annexes south west and north west off the main two storey element with a one and a half storey element to the south east. The one and a half storey element houses the entrance foyer and links the main accommodation to the ancillary accommodation. Given the size of the site and the backdrop of mature trees, the proposed design is in keeping with the surrounding area as it comprises of simple forms and the extra accommodation has been added in a way that breaks down on massing and reduces bulk.
