Designed in an Arts & Crafts style, this stunning family home and adjacent annexe/garage nestles into its newly landscaped grounds to give a timeless appearance with the impression that it has been there forever. Finished to the highest standards, the exterior uses a combination of brick, stone, timber cladding and clay tile, which will ensure that the building continues to mellow with age, harmonise with the natural surroundings and echo the environment in which its sits. Within a triangular shaped site, the new house is partially located over the footprint of the house it has now replaced, but with a rotation to facillitate a generous entrance courtyard to the front and a private rear garden that benefits from afternoon and evening sun, making the best of the terraces, loggia’s and swimming pool. Well considered fixtures and fittings give the interior a traditional yet timeless feel, with green oak structural framing providing drama and texture within rooms with vaulted ceilings. Externally, green oak structural frame detailing is used to add balconies, verandas, porches and loggia’s which provide layering and sculpting to the exterior form. Design considerations of passive solar gain, optimised insulation levels and thermal mass respond to fabric first principles, whilst the inclusion of a Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery system ensure a fresh and healthy environment.
