Built on a tight plot with challenging ground conditions, it is a fine example of an efficiently planned family home, spatially generous but with plenty of storage and rational circulation.

The plot affords a particularly fine unfettered view of the Bristol Channel, which the design celebrates with its first floor panoramic window and balcony. The architect describes the house as one of ‘total focus on these views’ which is defined by a delicate composition of steel, timber and glass.
