	New Building Single Houses
Under stair storage - blinds can cover the glazed wall to study/visitors room Built into hillside only the street elevation is 2 storey	Gibson Road, Bristol - A Small Urban House 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. This 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. The roof designed by us is motorized and double glazed. It spans 6 metres with a pin jointed ridge, and weighs 620kg, yet a force of only 18kg will move it. Special bearings have been used, each of which carry force of 400kg. Commended Award 2005 received from Redland and Cotham Amenity Society.
