Seven

Built along the edge of fields, Polyform has developed a row of seven houses whose contemporary architecture is suitable for family life. At the entry to the properties, CBA’s architects have designed a functionally flexible area for either a parking space, a conservatory, or a leisure area, to suit the residents’ requirements.

The full depth of the ground floor provides connecting areas through from the kitchen to the lounge, extending to a large terrace opening onto the countryside. A master suite and two further bedrooms are on the upper floor; while an office on the landing could facilitate working from home.

The upper floor extends out slightly beyond the ground floor, providing the south-facing lounge with some protection from the sun. The entire construction has been designed to group the heated areas optimally and thus minimise energy costs.
