“A sleek, stylish and modern 21st century house”
A muted palette.
The materials have been selected to fit a muted palette of greys and soft Scandinavian tones; their texture varying from rough brick through dark stained Western red cedar to polished grey concrete. Detailing is minimal and clinical.
Spatial variety & sequence.
The property has achieved an outstanding level of spatial variety and sequence. The route from the entrance passes through a small, dark panelled hallway straight into a double-height, roof-lit atrium before entering the full-width living space and addressing the stunning garden views.
Employed green tech.
Due to the fabric first approach and employed green technology the property has registered an EPC level of 90, resulting in very low yearly energy costs.
