Floor Plan: Eco-Friendly Scandi Bungalow

In order to secure consent, this replacement home needed to remain a single storey due to its visible location.

“We were told the house could be 30% bigger than the original footprint,” says homeowner Simon. “Because it is positioned near the sea, our architects planned for it to be raised about a metre off the ground on plinths. The void means that if the worst happens, the building will be safe,” he says.
