This project was for the design of a large self-build house. The frontage of the building takes on a simple cubic Georgian form with a symmetrical façade, and the rear of the building opens up with larger panes of glass and sliding openings that connect the interiors to the garden and open countryside beyond. A rear balcony creates a veranda and, along with a metal pergola, provides solar shading to southern glazing in summer months whilst maximising solar gain in the winter. The house will be built from Imperial Handmade bricks with elements of knapped flintwork.
