HOMEOWNERS Stephen and Helen Surtees
ARCHITECT Thread Architects
LOCATION Tickhill, Doncaster
PROJECT Contemporary self-build
BUILD COST £680,000
This new house was built to replace a rather boring 1970s bungalow that once stood on the site and is something of a masterclass in how to be both sympathetic and creative when it comes to house design.
Keen to acknowledge the scale and proportions of the neighbouring properties in this conservation area, the owners and architect worked with a pared-back palette of external materials that reflected the local area, at the same time as ensuring the new home made its presence known.
