Set within a sensitive woodland and streamside location near Bath, this sustainable home employs a split-plan arrangement with two distinct wings—one accommodating private sleeping spaces, the other housing communal living areas—connected by a fully glazed link that reduces the perceived mass of the building and frames views across the landscape. Built to exceptional environmental standards, the home achieves outstanding thermal performance through high levels of insulation, airtight construction, and renewable energy systems. Vertical timber cladding and corrugated metal roofing reference both the woodland setting and the agricultural vernacular of the Somerset countryside, whilst uncultivated gardens and a sedum roof enhance biodiversity and integrate the building into its rural context. The combination of sustainable design quality and sensitive landscape integration secured planning permission via appeal for new residential development outside the village development boundary.
