The design

The design

A generous shared centre

The ground-floor plan gathers dining, sitting and the main stair within a central hall. Three bedrooms line one side, while a visitor waiting room and entrance lobby provide a separate arrival sequence at the front.

Everyday routes, considered separately

The driveway reaches covered parking without passing through the front garden. Kitchen, store and utility spaces sit toward the rear, while a second stair provides separate access along the side of the house.

A house that accommodates different routines

The first-floor presentation plan combines bedrooms, living areas, kitchens and terraces around a central void. Separate stair access gives the upper-floor accommodation its own approach while the tall hall remains the focus of the main household.

From layout to architectural expression

Projecting white frames and recessed balconies give the flat-roof design depth. A perforated screen links the exterior composition to the tall living space, where the stair becomes part of the shared interior. The selected visualisations show the original APAS design; finishes and furnishings illustrate design intent.

Planning carried onto site

The commission extended from initial land visits to complete architectural planning, approval drawings and the 3D model. Site supervision began with column layout and continued through lintels and ground-floor roof shuttering, connecting the design work to its early construction.
