Modern new-build home - Sutton Coldfield, UK

Demonstrating the ultimate result in what can be done with some spare garden space; this new house develops on the design of the atypical British suburban home, blended with modernist design cues and playful sources of light. With a well-shaded garden backdrop, the challenge was to draw in as much daylight as possible whilst still maximising functionality of spaces. A playful and bright artist’s studio sits atop the house in the roof space, with the full height hallway and feature stair playing the main part. Bedrooms lead off from the landings in this full height space, providing a bright space to enter into at the start of the day.
