No site is too small for us. At a whopping 12.5m wide, they don’t come much narrower.

With a low sunlight angle on the southern boundary and limited space for outdoor living, the design had to provide a maximum feeling of space for the occupants and be private from the driveway, creating a peaceful little oasis.

Large sliding doors opening across the living space which, with an open plan kitchen, makes the room feel much larger than it is. Built in joinery has been used to make the most of inter-tenancy walls and the four homes we have designed are light and spacious.Upstairs the bedrooms are large and well appointed with great sunlight and privacy.

There is a specialist skill-set in designing small spaces to maximise function and sense of openness and calm. Luxury boat designers have this nailed. We have become excellent in this area, too, but without the budgets enjoyed by luxury boat builders!

This is the first of a number of townhouses we have designed for this client.
