Broadway, Duffield, Derbyshire

Broadway in Duffield contains many large properties of contrasting styles, but predominantly of traditional character. This plot contained a 1950’s style dwelling, which our clients requested the demolition of, and asked us to design a new dwelling for the site.

The brief was to design a single bespoke 350 sq.m. dwelling, in contemporary style. The plot size gave ample space to achieve a large dwelling. We formed a very pragmatic layout based on the clients’ use of, and requirements for space. We incorporated some wow factors to the front by introducing a wall of glazing in the main gable end, and to the entrance area. The entrance then has a double height space with a galleried bridge overlooking the glazed entrance. Contemporary details were proposed in the use of stone heads and cills which line through with the window openings. This gave a contemporary edge to a traditional form.
