“We are very happy with the final result. There have been many comments from friends on the quality of the design. ARCO2 took our brief and have created a family home which merges the old with the new and applying sensible sustainable features. We could not be happier.“
Project
This property has been sympathetically upgraded, repaired and extended for the needs of our client while still retaining its character and feel.
Area of Great Historic Value
The property lies within an Area of Great Historic Value. The extension has been designed to respect the existing structure and to be subserviant to it.
Design Features:
- Retention of local heritage
- Characterful white render walls
- Area of outstanding natural beauty
Family Home
The design has evolved from the site forces, primarily the view towards the dunes and sea. The extension and altered entrance is now central to the overall building and enhances the internal circulation space and external aesthetics.
- Master bedroom with ensuite
- Kitchen and breakfast room
- Entertaining spaces
Sustainable Features
The extension is constructed of timber frame and super insulated. The entire construction will be of the highest sustainable design.
- Sheep wool insulation
- Underfloor heating
- Materials sourced locally
