House, Gibson Road, Bristol, England. New House Private 60 sq m - 2 bedroom one with ensuite, combined living dining kitchen with removable glazed doors to terrace/conservatory, utility space in garage. Redland and Cotham Amenity Society *Awards - Commended 2005.* Located in a conservation area in Bristol a planning appeal was won by us prior to construction. On the site of 3 garages, the design required the inventive use of space and includes an open terrace that can be combined with the main day space by closing the roof over. The sliding glazed roof and an internal wall dramatically extend the living area. Now in use the effect has exceeded expectations and, although dependent the upon weather, the roof is often open. The high specification of internal finishes, fittings, wall insulation with under floor heating and thermal solar collector, all combine to produce low energy use, maintenance and running costs. Published in the April 2006 edition of SelfBuild & Design, the house is also featured in April 2007 edition of the Ideal Home magazine.
Maple stair rises to main day space past 2nd bedroom/visitor/study on left.
