A couple of years ago Red Raven was commissioned to find a building plot in Cockermouth that was in easy walking distance of the town centre. That was no easy task but an ex-allotment plot was found that had outline planning permission for a bungalow.

The site was overlooked from 3 sides and too small to house a family home if a traditional design approach was adopted. Rising to the challenge Red Raven proposed a courtyard house that utilised the full site and overcame the privacy issues by facing all the living space windows in to a a very discreet and private courtyard.
