NEW HOMES - Hampton Residence
The client brief was challenging - to deliver a home of Edwardian appearance on a site with limited frontage. This suggested the most appropriate response was for a design of modest proportions, yet the clients required a large home for a growing family which would be suitable for the next 10-12 years. The design brief included the usual service areas: a living area, three bedrooms plus a study and car parking with internal access.
The position of the living area had to maximise the northern orientation of the site, however the brief specified inclusion of a covered outdoor area also with a northern orientation and direct access to the kitchen area.
The solution was to propose a single storey/attic program. This response provided a traditional Edwardian presentation in terms of appearance, while at the same time provided enough space to meet the client accommodation requirements.
The inclusion of large-sized bedrooms plus a children's retreat in the upper level resolved the issue of having only one living area, and ensured the desired lifespan of the residence was achieved.
