A mid-20th century, 2 bedroom property originally sat on this Dartmouth plot until planning was sought to replace the existing dwelling. Planning Officers felt there was a real opportunity to enhance the site with a contemporary low profile property. The replacement property has a larger footprint than the original in order to maximise the site. Whilst still fitting in well with its surroundings and the variety of architectural styles nearby.
Sat on the banks of the River Dart, this new home has been designed to take advantage of the fantastic views over the estuary. With large areas of glazing leading out from the open plan kitchen/living area and bedrooms, onto a large deck over the water, on the front elevation.
Built and finished to a high level, the contemporary new build’s walls are finished with a variation of painted render and natural stone, creating an interesting dynamic. With powder coated aluminium windows and doors, which are integral to the properties design.
Finished with a green flat roof to minimise the height of the property whilst creating a overall modern aesthetic.
The front of the property which overlooks the estuary features 3 aluminium sliding doors. This includes a large 8.5 meter wide lift and slide door in the open plan living area. On a duo track configuration, allowing the centre two sashes to open over the two fixed sashes on either side. Creating a seamless transition onto the balcony and the view beyond. The lift and side opening mechanism makes these doors effortless to open regardless of the size.
Two further aluminium sliding doors have been used for the 2 bedrooms along the front elevation. Both 3 meters wide, giving direct access onto the balcony, and allowing the views to be enjoyed whatever the weather, opened or closed.
Seven fixed flat rooflights were installed within the green roof helping to draw more light into the property from above. And a solid aluminium contemporary front door was chosen as the entrance door, with sidelight panels on either side.
All in RAL 9006 – white aluminium matt. In a pre-anodised finish, protecting the frames in the harsh marine environment whilst giving the homeowners a 10 year guarantee for added peace of mind.
