Summerhill Road

The Summerhill Road project is an exercise in reduction, finding both the least amount of material and the fewest types of elements that can be used. This exercise draws on our interest in building with less - both the environmental benefit of less actual physical material, but also to see what richness can still be present within strict limitations. The volume is a matter-of-fact response to planning constraints. The extension is two rectangular boxes, one slightly larger than the other, stepping in plan and elevation towards the garden.
