Note(s)The previous 1970s detached house on this site was demolished to make way for a newly designed house. This was completed in 2014. A series of powder-coated aluminium fins provide shading, privacy and visual interest in front of the glazing on the upper storey. These external shading devices are used as an alternative to curtains or window blinds.
