Cedar View started life as a 1.5 storey 4-bedroom Dormer Bungalow in a spacious plot on the edge of beautiful farmland. What we see today is a (near completed) 2.5 storey 5-6 bedroom Bespoke dwelling with a new floor area of over 400m2.

​

Cedar cladding and Silicone render was used to the Monopitch wing, initially to conceal the tired brickwork, whilst the extension used a traditional red brick first storey, with a Monolithic black steel-clad cantilevered second storey.

​

Planning was passed for the initial designs in an unbelievable 8-week process with only minor negotiations. This is particularly impressive when considering the 100% volume increase to over 1000 cubic metres volume, alongside open rural fields.

​

To the rear, Cedar View uses huge steel framed windows to create two storey vistas to the northeast of the site.

​

Cedar View was designed and completed under the guidance of Smytheman Architectural, where once again, Bruce Johnson worked alongside DYSE Structural Engineers to facilitate another self-build clients dream.
