The location benefits from beautiful views to the north west and so windows are carefully positioned to capture these through the existing mature trees. A long gallery landing with a vaulted space to below capitalises on these views and also allows for a playful connection between ground and first floor. At first floor level there is mezzanine at the end of the landing which creates a playroom space overlooking the open plan kitchen / family space below. Materials for this project include stonework, zinc, timber cladding and feature Corten steel elements. The project will be built from timber frame with a glulam structure and will benefit from an air source heat pump and Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery. The south side of the building also has projecting canopy roof and walls, along with external louvres, to reduce overheating.
