A space to facilitate work/life balance
EP Architects were appointed to design a space that accommodates open plan living. The client was mainly concerned with the size of the proposal creating darker areas in the central parts of the house. An open plan design and large roof windows ensure that natural light reaches the deepest areas of the space, creating a light and welcoming environment.
At the survey stage it became apparent that the project would be met with the challenge of building over a public drain with limited access to the side of the house and the boundary. Later into the project a manhole was discovered under the rear built up patio. This required a relocation of the manhole and changes to the foundation design in order to carry out the works in agreement with Southern Water, following a previous negative response.
