HEM Architects

Parkhead House, , Carver Street, , Sheffield , S1 4FS

These clients in Nottinghamshire asked HEM Architects to build an inspiring and generous modern home. The site is in a conservation area, so planning permission was challenging. We worked closely with a heritage consultant and the local planners to gain planning permission at the first attempt. Taking inspiration from the historic surroundings, our design features two wings separated by a large open-plan and double-height kitchen, living and dining space. The kitchen and dining room of Craig and Jane’s home has a superb connection to their garden and soaks up the spectacular views. The Last House is a comfortable environment and highly energy efficient. As you would expect, it's free of draughts and retains its heat exceptionally well because of the fabric first approach we take with all of our projects.
