Sunnyview, Penperlleni

Sunnyview, Penperlleni, Pontypool is a replacement dwelling in the countryside. It is linked to an existing commercial operation and with a recently converted cottage provides a rural grouping of buildings around a central courtyard. The design responds to the Client’s wish to have a larger dwelling for his 6 person family and move away from the small rooms of the existing Edwardian house and embrace modern open plan living with easy access to the garden.

The ground and first floors are of a similar size but not directly set above each other. This design device is needed to provide a ground floor link to the existing garage, whilst separating the upper floor of the new build from the existing garage. This results in a dramatic cantilevered first floor creating a covered parking area. The existing garage is now to be converted to an indoor pool, gym and sauna.

Construction is anticipated by mid-2022.
