Sumbler Road Residence
This home was designed around a young family's busy life-style and a complicated site/property. The design requirements of the Owner's was to have a 2-storey house that did not seem tall, low eaves, and had four-bedrooms all on the second floor. The site included the original house, severed from the larger property, and a significant portion of land that was a protected habitat, so the new house design had to accommodate a number of constraints. The "stick-framed" 14/12 sloped roof helped increase the usable second floor area required for the bedrooms, and the stair location provided southerly natural light to enter in the middle of the house on all floors.
