Individual Self-Build in Wootton

completed: 2019

Architect: Transition by Design


About this home:

The construction confounds the idea that super-insulated natural construction results in cumbersome architecture. The natural materials: reclaimed brick and oak, lime plasters, spruce, polished concrete were left unadorned creating a contrasting balance of textures. Very high thermal comfort is delivered at near zero carbon, effectively nesting a high-performance new build within a historical solid masonry building. Key elements include a thermal bridge free thermal envelope, triple glazed floor-to-ceiling glazing, a ground source heat pump, and both mechanical ventilation and heat recovery. Passivhaus methodology was used and the building energy modelled with PHPP.
