The second and much larger dwelling on the rural Suffolk site - that I wrote about in the January Planning Consent Case - was a far more complex design process, as this was more personal to the clients and they wanted it positioned so that it straddled the first drop in levels. This is often a worrying prospect to some designers who may see it as a possible constraint but for me, it was music to my ears and I saw it as a complete opportunity What this request basically allowed us to investigate was a dwelling which when viewed from the entrance driveway was a relatively simple looking and traditional single storey design with rooms in the roof-space but could then feature a whole floor below ground which normally would be a fully subterranean basement, but due to the drop in levels would have an open elevation aspect to the rear facing out to the woodland and reservoir
