Backwater
By Platform 5 Architects
This stunning waterside new build is the work of Platform 5 Architects, whose design overcame the various difficulties posed by the challenging site in the Norfolk Broads. The house sits on a small promontory (raised area) in a secluded lagoon and features dual pitched roofs in a nod to nearby boat sheds. The remote, largely off-grid location required careful planning, as a semi-submerged sewage treatment plant had to be installed next to the river.
