Two new six bedroom detached houses on a creek off the River Thames. The new housing replaces post war houses inappropriate to the Broom Water Conservation Area. The two and a half storey steep gables pick up the rhythm and massing of the neighbouring houses while the distinctive elements of projecting bay windows with horizontal roofs, prominent porches and tall chimneys are repeated in a contemporary form. The layout, orientation and form have been considered to maximise thermal performance, natural daylight and passive heating.
