Energy efficient new build 3 bed barn-style dwelling

Location:

Date:

Hempstead

2020

Project overview

New 3 bedroom dwelling situated within the side garden of the existing house. Traditional barn style design with weatherboarding on the exterior and oak frame windows and doors. 


The house is one and a half storeys high with the bedrooms half within the roof space. The shape of the plot dictated that the house had to be a rectangular plan with the gable end onto the road. The front door is on the side of the house with a generous central hall, living room at the front, and open plan kitchen / diner at the rear with bifold doors leading onto the garden.


Photovoltaic solar panels were installed on the roof to provide a sustainable source of electricity. The building is also highly insulated to minimise heat loss.
