a balcony which runs the entire length of the room so that we can still eat outdoors without having to trek all the way down to the garden.” Tanya and John only recently finished land-
scaping the garden, with a low retaining wall, slate walkways, decking, mood lighting and a feature pond, using materials that reflect the modern structure of the house. “This house has everything we could wish for
in a family home. It’s sociable, with the big fam- ily kitchen, yet everyone can find their own space when they want it. That’s not an easy thing to achieve in many modern houses.” But with their children growing up and leav-
ing home, Tanya and John are considering their options for the future – including the idea of let- ting the house as an unusual holiday home for larger groups. “There will come a point when we are rattling
around in here by ourselves,” says Tanya. “That’s why we are working out what to do for the best. It will be hard to let go, but it’s the kind of house that needs to be lived in and used to the full.”

LOW POINT
There were no low points. The design

dynamics of the plot and the build was very straight forward
