Paul Dowsett (and Nicholas Discenza)took on the small project of designing a contemporary yet traditional garage to go with our Victorian semi-detached home. In addition, we wanted to put a green roof (garden) on the top, to visually expand our small yard. The result is just what we wanted - the garage bridges the gap between modern and traditional and is a wonderful addition. The roof garden was designed to step back from the edge to avoid overpowering the garage and it gives me great pleasure to see it surrounded by its stainless steel edging. The garage looks as if it has always been there, but then you realize that it is quietly contemporary. It has a sensibility about it which makes it outstanding without standing out. Both Paul and Nicholas were easy to work with - friendly, good listeners, dependable and they have a wonderful design sense.
