Radical Rebuild

OB Architecture
7 years ago

The Wrap House replaced a small, tired 1950s bungalow sat among a row of equally undistinguished single-storey properties.

The replacement house had to respect the height of the surrounding bungalows; by manipulating the levels and stepping the building down, in spite of being a storey higher than the neighbouring properties, the flat roof parapet levels sit below the ridge line of the adjoining houses.

The house was constructed for a relatively modest £1,500/m2, challenging the notion that bespoke modern houses cost from £2,000/m2 upwards.

The Wrap House has featured on the More4 series 'Building the Dream': Series 3, Episode 2: Kent

    What a fantastic design. The use of materials, the room set-out with all that natural light - stunning.

    We'd love to support you if you do something similar.
