The Glass House

Size: 4800sqft

Timescale: 12 months

Contract: Build Partner

Style: Contemporary

The Client approached Oakbridge Bespoke Homes with planning drawings for a house that was exceeding their build budget.

The team were able to work collaboratively with the architect and client to achieve a high specification build with the specialist finishes desired. These finishes included polished concrete floors, glazing from Portugal and vanishing site lines across the rear of the property.

It was wonderful to be able to retain the spirit and architectural detailing of this home, whilst working within the scope of the clients budget. Although certain areas had to be refined and small areas reduced as a part of the process; it still has that special wow factor that the client required.
