Reimagining a 1960s Bungalow
A concept exploring how an ordinary post-war bungalow can become a healthier, more sustainable family home.
Reimagining everyday living
Many 1960s bungalows have excellent potential but often suffer from poor daylight, disconnected living spaces and low energy performance. This concept explores how careful architectural intervention can transform a typical bungalow into a warm, sustainable family home centred around light, wellbeing and connection to nature.
