Eden Replacement Dwelling
Sense of Space was comissioned by local private clients to design a new dwelling providing a high quality, energy efficient and sustainable family home, replacing a poor performing 1970s house. The building is currently under development on site.
The main two-storey building sits to the south of the site and follows the natural topography of the site stepping down towards the rear. The design is of high architectural quality and provides an energy efficient home in both summer and winter. Passive solar design, air tightness and material breathability are all incorporated to minimise the impact of the new dwelling on the environment.
Role: Project Architect RIBA Stages 1-3
The building footprint is 265m2 and has a GIFA of approximately 330m2.
The building form is split between a two-storey element at the front of the site and a single-storey wing extending down the garden. The contemporary design has asymetric roof pitches and gable features facing onto the main highway, reflecting the local vernacular architecture.
