It is a small house with a steep staircase up to the first floor. The tour will be on the ground floor.
Inspired by the Indian vernacular, the house has an unusual material palette, with exposed pink blockwork, dark blue quarry tiles, oak beams and joinery and exposed clay plaster walls.
Built on a tight budget, the design makes the most of the constrained area, with each space designed for multiple uses and activities, and the garden conceived as an outdoor room.
