The solution adopted involved constructing a building with a mono-pitch roof off two low walls to the boundary. From the neighbour's perspective, this would be no more invasive than the erection of a fence.
Our clients wanted to construct a single story home for themselves as their current house had become difficult to live in. They did not want to leave the area and their only option was to build a suitable dwelling in their garden.
The site had complicated planning issues to resolve. These included overlooking problems as well as an awkwardly shaped site. The Planning Authority was adamant that a conventional dwelling could not be accommodated.

The roof pitch means that we were able to use sedum to create a living roof which is both attractive and thermally very efficient.
