Hill Road, Essex
The brief was to transform a 1950s bungalow into a stunning modern three-storey home on the fringes of the Essex Green Belt.
The site topography crucially informed the design concept to provide stunning views of London and the surrounding countryside.
Design Features:
• Moved the accommodation to the side elevation, which overlooked the fields and London that had previously been closed off by the original building orientation.
• The main entrance is angled to create space for a grand central staircase, which is housed within a feature render wrap, flooded with natural light from the glazed curtain walling.
• The split slate cladding provided a textured feature to the entrance and related to the black slate roof of the property, tying the colour palette together.
