Bespoke new five bedroom single storey dwelling
Location:
Norfolk
Type:
Private House
This single-storey, five-bedroom dwelling embodies the essence of modern comfort while prioritising environmental responsibility, utilising sustainable materials and passive shading techniques to create a harmonious living space.
The design concept revolves around creating a spacious and inviting home that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. The single-storey layout emphasises accessibility and functionality, ensuring ease of living for occupants of all ages. Large windows and open floor plans enhance the sense of space and connection to the outdoors, while passive shading elements provide comfort and energy efficiency year-round.
Additional potential for reducing the environmental footprint can be taken in Stages 4 and 5. Carefully selecting sustainable materials prioritising durability, efficiency, and ethical sourcing. From responsibly harvested timber to recycled materials and low-impact finishes, every aspect of the construction can be chosen carefully for environmental impact and long-term sustainability.
Harnessing the power of passive shading, our design minimises solar heat gain and optimises natural light throughout the home. Strategic placement of shading elements such as overhangs and vegetation helps to regulate interior temperatures, reducing the need for mechanical cooling and heating systems while enhancing occupant comfort and well-being.
High-performance insulation, energy-efficient appliances, and passive solar design principles work together to minimise energy consumption and reduce utility costs. By incorporating renewable energy sources such as solar panels and maximising natural ventilation, we aim to create a home that is comfortable, inviting, and environmentally responsible.
