Woodpeckers is a visualization created by Goss Visualisations for a project to be completed by Strom Architects. It will be located in New Forest, Hampshire, England, and its interior design is chic and sophisticated, with glass walls to let in natural light. The design for the house, which is to be used mainly as holiday home, is constrained by planning issues that to some extent dictated the built footprint and its position on the site. Very tight size restrictions forced the design to push windows to the outside of the envelope, not allowing any overhangs which would be included in an area calculation, therefore reducing the actual built area. However, within the allowable area, there are provisions for inclusion of a conservatory, and one challenge was how to successfully integrate this with architecture, with a design devoid of the normal connotations of a lean-to structure.
