Nicknamed the ‘Tardis’ in reference to Doctor Who’s time machine, the brief for this project was to create a home that appears small and private from the street, but is deceptively spacious internally. Working within the ‘Tardis’ concept, the design response seeks to address three key challenges: how to build within a tight building envelope’ as defined on the title; how to provide privacy from the street while also capturing northern sun, and how to make the most of the western views while minimising glare and heat gain/loss.
