Situated in a prominent location on Hayling Island, this five bedroom new-build contemporary family home celebrates it's beautiful surroundings. The contemporary design was inspired by its rural setting with its pitched roof form. Internally, the design features a grand entrance, double-height space, first-floor gallery and open-plan living spaces. Large glazed doors provide strong connections and transparency between the open-plan internal living space and the garden. Carefully positioned glazing provides carefully crafted vistas of the extensive garden and beautiful surrounding countryside. The use of timber and white render compliment the building’s bold form and it's rural setting. This contemporary design is highly insulated with triple glazing and other low-energy features. A luxury development has been created in place of a rather utilitarian mid-twentieth century house that stood there before. A design has been created that is much better suited to the clients’ lifestyle and the plan works better than the original confusing layout of the original house. The house will enjoy a commanding position in the local area once completed.
