The Not So Little House On The Hill

Project Overview

LOCATION: BERKSHIRE

BRIEF:

· The concept was to design a substantial replacement farmhouse that could secure planning approval through a broken farmstead composition

· Positioned on a small hill within its own valley, the new house would need to respond to its exposed setting and expansive views

· The brief required a highly sustainable home with strong environmental performance using timber frame and cladding

· The owners, experienced developers, required clear construction drawings for setting out an irregular form

HIGHLIGHTS:

· The new farmhouse design - a collection of farmstead barns helped gain planning approval for a much larger replacement

· Elevated hilltop position captures beautiful valley views and natural light in all directions

· Ash-clad timber frame construction is environmentally sustainable and looks great!

· High levels of insulation and low-carbon heat pump system

· High vaulted ceilings and glazing offer drama and character internally
