Stealth House

The Stealth House gets its name from its highly innovative form. Our challenge was to build a generous 4 bedroom family home on the site of a two bedroom bungalow, without increasing the perceived scale of the building on the site. The result was the Stealth House, the first use of 'shrink wrapped function'. The building's true scale and generous internal volume are cleverly concealed through its facetted form. We were delighted that after ten years in the house our clients reassuringly stated; 'we wouldn't change a thing.' We were delighted.

The house has since been shortlisted for the prestigious City of Winchester Trust Design Award. Built to the highest standards with meticulous attention to detail, Stealth House balances innovative design with the warmth and functionality of a family home. Each living space is thoughtfully conceived, with distinct shapes and forms that create a unique atmosphere throughout. The striking roof design not only enhances the interior's volume but also makes a dramatic visual statement, while the carefully positioned glazed windows offer beautiful visual connections both within the home and across the surrounding views.

The house makes an immediate impression with its expansive entrance hall, which features ample built-in storage. From here, you’re drawn into the vast open-plan kitchen/dining room, which includes a double-height void and feature lighting that elevates the room’s sense of scale. All rooms on the first floor are connected by a bridge that offers visual links to the living spaces below, fostering a sense of openness and interaction throughout the home.

Stealth House benefits from an abundance of natural light, thanks to extensive glazing and strategically placed picture windows that frame stunning views of the garden and beyond. This home is an outstanding example of modern architecture, seamlessly blending innovative design with practical family living.
