Our clients had an area of land on their property that seemed perfect for a new dwelling but where planning permission had already been refused twice. However, there were intriguing possibilities for the right project. We collaborated with our clients to help them design a ‘modern barn’ and then worked carefully to secure the permission needed. The result is a beautiful, environmentally responsible home that sits sensitively in its surroundings where our clients are raising their young family.
Our clients loved their Georgian home, but the land remained an intriguing possibility with exciting options. If planning permission could be secured, they could either build a house to live in themselves or realise the value of the land at sale. Keen to explore their options, they invited us to join them on their journey
The design we developed with our clients drew on the typology of single-storey implement sheds that are found in the local area and was in keeping with the historic village setting. It was considered that the scheme represented an example of high-quality design, and consent was duly granted
As the project developed on site our clients were able to reinstate several elements they had taken out during the value engineering process, including photovoltaic solar panels.
Perhaps the biggest difference has been the thermal efficiency of the house. We oriented the building to make the most of the solar gain, used highly insulating building materials and an air source heat pump to provide the small amount of additional heat required. It’s created a home that’s dramatically different to their Georgian home.
