02 / THE IDEA

From first thought
to form.

The house is planned for a family with two children. Separate spaces for living, working and retreat are woven together across two storeys, while a conservatory, terrace, small pond and planted outdoor areas extend life beyond the building envelope.

02 / HOME & GARDEN

More than the space inside.

The garden scheme includes a terrace, pond and shaded planting as well as a conservatory. The boards consider sun orientation, surrounding streets and seasonal planting, using species such as serviceberry, butterfly bush and Leyland cypress.
