Floor Area/Land Area: 132sqm/149 sqm
This home now enjoys a sense of space and light, commonly lacking from a single fronted Victorian Terrace. Through the careful insertion of only two courtyards, space is intermittently intertwined and borrowed from one zone to another. Glazing brings the outdoors in, and carefully located windows mean that every room enjoys a green outlook. The first floor Green Roof breaks the harsh view of surrounding rooftops, and brings a sense of greenery into the main bedroom. It lends space to the room adjacent, and helps a modest floor plan feel generous.
If you’re feeling the pinch on a small site, let us show you how to make every square inch work hard for you.
