BAUEN Design prepared pre-planning proposals for a self-build home on a rural plot in Pipegate, near Market Drayton. The brief was to create a contemporary single-storey bungalow for the applicant and their family, set within the existing plot and carefully positioned in relation to the neighbouring homes.
The proposed L-shaped plan follows the shape of the site and separates the main living and sleeping areas into two wings. Its position was designed to maintain views from the existing house while creating space and privacy around the new home.
The design combines cedar cladding with a black standing-seam roof, drawing on the character of rural buildings with a contemporary finish. The proposal was prepared for pre-planning discussion with the local authority before any detailed planning application. The proposal gained positive feedback at pre-planning stage
