The Orchard was originally a simple brick built 1981 Dormer Bungalow with four awkwardly shaped small bedrooms. The new design proposal has created a more spacious four bedroom house with improved circulation and storage, however it does so without changing the overall ridge height of the building. The Redesign succeeds in keeping the existing width of the building footprint, whilst improving the internal layout and raising the roof eaves to create a much more usable space on the first floor. Extending the house further into the garden and away from the road also helps to create much more functionable first floor and ground floor areas. The building, designed in a contemporary style, uses insulated render and timber for the façade in place of the original brickwork. Modern aluminium window frames complete the modern aesthetic. The building now conforms to current sustainability standards which ensures that the owners will maintain an energy efficient home.
