A low energy home in a garden plot

As their children grew up and left for university, their
existing home became larger than they needed. The property, however, offered a
unique opportunity: a generous garden with a narrow, sloping plot to one side.
Building on our longstanding relationship, Rob and Fi asked us to explore
whether this overlooked part of the site could accommodate a new home that
would allow them to downsize while remaining in the place they loved.
Working closely together, we developed “The Little House”
next door a purpose-designed, low-energy home that responds sensitively to the
challenging topography while meeting the couple's changing lifestyle needs.
Carefully integrated into the sloping garden, the house demonstrates how
thoughtful design can unlock the potential of constrained sites to create
sustainable, contemporary homes with a strong sense of place.
“It’s everything we hoped for, and more” - Rob and Fi
