It isn’t very often that you get involved in something truly off the wall and out there. With this new timber framed “triangle” shaped house in West Sussex we certainly had that.

Due to the shape of the site, the proximity of a railway line to the rear of the property, and not to mention the main sewer line that runs through the site the new house was designed to be triangular, not just in plan but also the walls and roof. Luckily the person taking on this stunning project was up to the task.

Done as a true self-build the timber frame was built in just a few weeks meaning that we were able to supply the Lewis Deck only 6 weeks from starting on site.

In total we supplied 120m2 of deck, which were then laid on the top 2 floors of the house, along with both of our flanking and rubber resilient strips to maximise the acoustic performance through the two floor zones.

With no straight-walled rooms and a dramatic sloping zinc roof that touches the ground on one side, their eye-catching home was featured on the Channel Four programme Grand Designs where presenter Kevin McCloud described it as one of the trickiest plots ever seen on the show and the resulting home as a ‘giant 3D geometrical puzzle.’
