our Client's Vision

The story behind the build

A luxury barn-style home nestled in the heart of the countryside, thoughtfully designed on the site of a former tennis court. The client envisioned a highly eco-conscious home, aspiring to passive house standards while working within a practical budget. Together, we created a property that aligns with Future Home 2025 regulations, achieving green credentials at every turn. Key features include a stunning oak staircase, a galleried landing with a library area, and a master suite with a dressing room and ensuite. With concrete floors, underfloor heating, and MVHR, the home combines sustainability with modern comfort.
