Backwater, a new detached home designed by Platform 5 Architects replaces an outdated bungalow on a promontory in a secluded lagoon in the Norfolk broads, providing practice director, Patrick Michell with a family home. Designing a new building for the plot provided the opportunity to enhance the setting by establishing a stylish counterpoint to more traditionally designed neighbouring houses while respecting the peaceful location. A key objective was to create simple, contemporary living spaces at the centre of the house that is orientated to benefit from the views of the surroundings.
