I have designed a variety of more traditional style new dwellings where the client has wanted something a bit more 'normal' or where we have established that the local planning law may be a little more restricting. To reduce risk and the client’s costs on design, I assess the options and advise as necessary.&nbsp;<br>
Even with more traditional designs there can be scope to create inspiring internal spaces and architectural forms.

New House, Saltdean, Brighton, Sussex: This chalet bungalow was an insurance rebuild. It was required due to the original house being flooded by field rainwater water run-off. I subsequently redesigned the house to be raised up from its original level, added some additional architectural features and made it wheelchair compatible.

The building uses traditional forms and materials (such as a feature flint wall), with the addition of a Velux Cabrio Balcony rooflight in the upper bedroom. We added flint panelling to mix with the red brick and tiles and dark painted wood to give a more traditional South coast vernacular.
