THE CORNER HOUSE

A three bedroom live-work unit which uses simple design to create a sustainable modern approach to living.

The live-work units are positioned at either end of the plot and are connected by a 'garden wall' which provides privacy and protection to the courtyard garden.

A passive solution has been adopted in the approach to the design which promotes natural ventilation and heating through the house by means of large south facing windows and a double height void in the living space.
