Contemporary Houses
The Lodge, Bathwick, Bath
One of two contemporary style single-storey houses built as part of the re-development of a former Victorian School near the centre of Bath.
Constructed of coursed natural stone and cedar cladding under a zinc roof the internal floor level is 1.5m above natural ground level to avoid any risk of flooding.
Ramps and an electric external stair lift were incorporated to adapt the house for its disabled owner.
House in Lansdown, Bath
Situated within the Bath Conservation Area this large extension to a 1960's semi-detached house is designed to make its own visual statement; linked to the three storey extension by a fully glazed connection the original pair of houses remain as orignally designed.
The main extension is contructed from natural Bath stone ashlar with cedar cladding under a pitched zinc roof supported on an exposed double-tongued softwood structural roof deck sitting on a reinforced concrete collar at wallplate level.
The fully glazed link has a zinc flat roof supported on an exposed double-tongued softwood structural roof deck. The double glazed, solar tinted windows open automatically in response to the internal temperature to provide natural ventilation.
The double-height of the link forms the new entrance Hall and separates the three-storey extension from the existing house. The new Sitting Room is off the Hall through a pair of toughend glass doors; up the stairs is the Master Bedroom with the Kitchen, Utililty, Dining Area and rear garden at lower ground floor. .
