Next Project >>

Situated on a stunning site in the green belt, south of Sheffield, we have worked closely with the clients to amend an existing planning application to create a modern, flexible and energy efficient project that is connected to the surrounding landscape.

The project focuses particularly on the use of materials and celebrates locally handmade brickwork. We have carefully articulated details to ensure the revised design is bespoke, crafted and fitting with the landscape.

Connections between inside and outside spaces link the cosy interior with the clients productive gardens. Carefully placed picture windows frame views onto the landscape beyond. 

Using the Passivhaus Planning Package we have adjusted the design to ensure a comfortable living environment that has extremely low running costs and a well-balanced use of daylight.

We are excited to see this project progress to site over the coming months.
