The dwelling was designed following a detailed analysis of the massing, volume and positioning of the neighbouring dwellings. Although this site sits within the greenbelt and outside of the settlement boundary, we were able to clearly demonstrate that the proposal was a suitable infill to the village. The development that we proposed included 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, large kitchen and dining spaces along with a range of ancillary spaces throughout.

The home was ultimately for our clients who were long term residents of this village and wanted to stay local into later life with a home that would work with them. This ultimately led them to move into a home that was purpose built. The internal environment was fully developed considering steps, opening widths and the potential to introduce a stairlift or lift at a later date.

Architecturally the dwelling needed to blend into its surroundings, therefore we opted for a render finish with sash windows and small shed type dormers that sit comfortably against the strong stone wall boundary and its neighbours.

"Our home is a joy to live in"
"Our design brief to Usman was very exacting; we needed a house that matched our demanding needs on a modest plot in an area where modern houses are unwelcomed by planners. Usman designed our house meeting all our detailed requirements, as well as being aesthetically pleasing for our village. Our home is a joy to live in. Usman did a great job, he applied his technical skills to meet our wishes."
