Designed as a modern cottage, this Sumner home was created for solitary comfort but with enough scale to host family and friends. Natural oak floors and birch joinery form a calm interior backdrop, while an eclectic art collection adds vibrancy. The prefabricated panel system, developed with Avon Dickie Construction, allowed for rapid on-site assembly and a highly insulated, low-energy home. Landscape and street connections promote a sense of harmony with the wider neighbourhood. A modest yet characterful design that shows the value of prefabrication for bespoke living.
