This replacement family home places sustainability at the heart of its design. A finalist in the British Homes Awards 2020, the house incorporates an Air Source Heat Pump, Solar PVs, and a Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery System, demonstrating that responsible design and luxury living can seamlessly coexist.
The interiors are thoughtfully curated, featuring open-plan living with a central kitchen and dining space that flows into the living room, centred around a striking feature fireplace. Plush velvet sofas and bespoke finishes create an atmosphere of understated luxury, while glazed links throughout the home soften its presence on the site and foster a constant connection to the surrounding landscape.
The new build sits harmoniously within its rural setting, reflecting the character of the local vernacular through its pitched roof, simple form, and carefully considered material palette. Handmade Petersen bricks lend texture and depth, balancing modernity with tradition. Every element of the design has been meticulously crafted, resulting in a home that is both elegant and enduring.
