Our role

Architecture

Being a small project it really gave a chance to get into the detail and try and economise each design decision without compromising the high environmental performance of the build. The result is a smart highly efficient home on a tight budget that strives to connect its users with the land and sky that it sits between.

Our work included

  • Concept development
  • Initial visuals + layouts
  • Design development
  • Planning permission + build warrant
  • Tender drawings + tender process
  • Site management
  • Contract management + handover

We were looking for something special and different from the main stream, We didn't want the same cookie cutter approach we had found elsewhere. The team at COLE took us through the design process and delivered far beyond our initial expectations and we could not be more happy with the results.

People comment about the building when they visit, They love the way it fuses the old with the new. I love the way the light comes through the spaces in the morning it does not fail to make me smile
