Our clients commissioned a contemporary replacement for a 1930s neo-Tudor house, creating a spacious, light-filled family home tailored to their lifestyle and sustainable principles. The design prioritises open-plan living, generous proportions and seamless connection to the garden, while incorporating high-performance materials and energy-efficient systems.
Spanning three floors, the home accommodates flexible living with bedrooms, study, guest accommodation, gym, and versatile family spaces. Floor-to-ceiling glazing ensures natural light penetrates deep into the interiors, reinforcing a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding garden.
The heart of the home is the integrated kitchen, dining and living area, which extends effortlessly outdoors through double-sided glazing, ideal for family life and entertaining. A double-height atrium hall links a study, formal sitting room, wine room, playroom and cloakroom, creating a considered and elegant circulation through the home. Finishes throughout, including in the master suite with its bedroom, dressing room and en-suite, are meticulously crafted for comfort, privacy and understated luxury.
Sustainability is embedded throughout. Disconnected from mains gas, the home is heated and cooled via an Air Source Heat Pump with wet underfloor heating, supported by a 12kW system that also provides domestic hot water. An 8kW solar PV array, paired with battery storage, powers the majority of the home and the family’s electric vehicles. Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery, airtight construction, and a smart home system ensure energy is used efficiently, blending sustainable performance with refined, contemporary living.
