Water’s Edge, Berkshire

Sustainable Riverside Retreat

Water’s Edge is a Thames-side replacement house where restrained elegance meets resilient design. Thoughtfully crafted with cutting-edge sustainable technologies, it redefines energy efficiency while creating a home of exceptional comfort and enduring beauty.

Among the many planning and environmental constraints connected with developing a contemporary new build in an established residential setting were those relating to its situation within a high flood risk zone. The resulting design saw the structure elevated over hidden piled foundations to provide protection against any possible future flooding, whilst not compromising the clean lines, fresh timber cladding and modern aesthetic.
