This project demanded a fresh approach to bungalow design, incorporating modern energy efficiency with dramatic architectural elements like vaulted ceilings and custom glazing. Our expertise in both architectural innovation and sustainable construction allowed us to create a home that redefined single-level living while maintaining superior energy efficiency. The result was a modern three-bedroom bungalow that maximised space and light while minimising environmental impact, proving that single-level living can be both sophisticated and sustainable.
Modern Single-Level Living: Ketts Hill, Necton
Our team was commissioned to design and construct a contemporary bungalow that would challenge traditional single-level housing conventions at Ketts Hill, Necton.
A Holistic Approach
Project Overview
Challenge
- Design a contemporary bungalow that breaks away from traditional styling
- Create an open-plan living space with dramatic ceiling heights
- Incorporate extensive custom glazing while maintaining energy efficiency
- Deliver three bedrooms and two bathrooms without compromising the open-plan concept
- Achieve high levels of insulation and energy efficiency throughout
Solution
Leveraging our expertise in modern construction and sustainable design, we implemented:
- A carefully engineered structural design to accommodate vaulted ceilings
- High-performance insulation systems throughout the building envelope
- Custom glazing solutions to maximise natural light while maintaining thermal efficiency
- An open-plan layout that creates natural flow between living spaces
Process Highlight
Our design and construction teams collaborated to:
- Design and install custom roof structures to achieve vaulted ceiling heights
- Select and implement the most up to date insulation materials and techniques
- Position custom glazing to optimise natural light and views
- Create seamless transitions between open-plan spaces
- Install energy-efficient systems throughout the property
- Ensure all building regulations were met while achieving the desired aesthetic
Results
- Successfully delivered a contemporary take on bungalow living
- Achieved exceptional energy efficiency ratings
- Created dramatic interior spaces with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light
- Established a perfect balance between open-plan living and private spaces
- Delivered three comfortable bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms, one of those bathrooms being ensuite
Customer Feedback
”Our new home completely transforms what people expect from a bungalow. The vaulted ceilings and extensive glazing make every space feel expansive and bright, while the energy efficiency means our running costs are remarkably low. The open-plan living area has become the heart of our home, and we love how the design makes the most of every square meter."
