Sandbanks

The proposed design offered a scheme of significantly enhanced architectural quality to an existing building of low architectural value.

The external appearance of the remodelled dwelling was designed to complement its surroundings by virtue of the selection and sensitive application of materials. These comprise of timber cladding laid in an alternating vertical and horizontal arrangement, the existing facing brickwork and white render. Daylight is maximized internally through the use of a series of flat roof lights and external windows are carefully positioned to exploit key vistas without causing any overlooking issues. The overall architectural appearance is designed to showcase a simple but fresh aesthetic.

The design developed utilised the majority of the existing ground floor wall construction to protect the mature trees and hedges and maintain the established screening and important landscape character.
