This was another one of our own projects, which was based in Ovingdean, Brighton. The original plot had an old derelict bungalow on it, which we knocked down to make room for two detached dwellings. One would become a three bed open plan bungalow and the other dwelling would become a 4 bed house. This really was a fun project, where we could put our own stamp on it whilst working closely with our architect, for a great design. 

We wanted to be energy efficient with these properties whilst trying to keep to the budget, which can be a hard choice to make. On top of all the energy efficient insulation we decided to installed solar panels to both properties and install a log burner to help with heating, which would save money on utility bills for the future owners of the properties.

Once the properties were nearing completion we advertised for them to be sold, which happened very quickly, we were even asked to build a pond with a water fall for the 4 bed house client who was over the moon when it was completed. 

We chose Deacon and Richardson Architects for our project. Having worked along side them for many years we felt safe in their hands when it came to designing something new and modern, which at the same time would fit into the street scene, just like it had always been there.
