The project comprised the construction of a new three bedroom house, constructed on an established garden plot on the outskirts of Norwich. The owners were a retired professional couple who required flexible accommodation arrangements to suit their changing needs.

The plot originally had outline planning permission for a single storey residence. However, our clients particularly wanted a two storey house. Therefore, to meet with the Planning Authorities approval, the house had to be designed using 'rooms in the roof' techniques, with careful consideration given to avoid overlooking adjacent properties.

The house is of traditional brick and block construction, with radiator heating.
