An understanding of the Site and Client brief are the two essential starters to a design. Every Architecturally designed house is a customised response to these two factors.

This beautiful blank canvas of a site has some things to think about. The main outlook is down the hill to the south. The access to sunlight is behind us, to the north, along with the vehicle access and carparking. A terrace house will be abutting both sides of the site. So what’s next?

We come up with an ideas board and use this for some yellow-trace sketching madness. This becomes our concept and driving force of the design going forward.
