The project
Highfield replaces a 1950s bungalow on a steep plot. The new house steps down the slope, with the living spaces on the upper floor so they look over the hedges to the valley.
The frame went up in the spring and the cladding is going on now. We visit every fortnight and the clients should move in by the end of the year.
