Worked wonders on a limited budget
East RIBA Regional Award 2019
Williams Griffiths Architects for James Drew & Michaela Breilmann
Contract value: Undisclosed
GIA: 320m²
The architect has cleverly remodelled a very average 1970s bungalow with a double-garage extension, to create a coherent ‘u’-shaped building around a courtyard. It has done this by designing a glazed link between bungalow and garage. It has also replaced the utilitarian trussed rafter roof with a more open construction, creating additional accommodation that links to a double-height living room. The clutter of daily life has been tucked away, and the architect has worked wonders with a limited budget.
