Treetops House

The Project involved the complete and careful demolition of an existing dwelling house and the construction of a new energy efficient Eco House with a traditional oak frame.

Due to the existing house being of a low quality and with limited scope to significantly and sustainably improve this and its associated energy performance, the proposal was to remove the existing structure and construct a new energy efficient dwelling on the same footprint.

The new House has numerous sustainable features including a high performance envelope, solar panels, under floor heating, heat pump and integrated ventilation system. The proposed dwelling has an energy efficiency C rating and an Environmental Impact (CO2) B rating.

The west end elevation incorporates a glazed traditional oak frame with double height living space inside with fabulous views over the clients ground to the west. A triangular timber deck balcony helps to blend the inside and outside spaces.
