Woodlands, Devon

Client: Private Residential

This was a challenging brief to design a modern internal layout in a traditional and picturesque North Devon village. A successful design was achieved by adopting a traditional Devon long house design to blend in with the street view at the front while making a dramatic change to rear with an open glazed modern ‘Eco house’ style.

An energy efficient method of construction was employed with structural insulated panels (SIPs) combined with a green oak frame to provide interest internally. This together with an air source heat pump and photovoltaic panels achieved a high energy performance rating.
