NEW BUILD
in Surrey

Substantial Arts and Crafts Estate

An extensive research by our clients, of the Arts and Crafts Movement characteristic architectural style of the area, led to the distinctive perfectly balanced ‘old meets modern’ design.

The plot consisted of sandy ground which helped progress throughout the build and eased the full-size basement excavation. The house was primarily masonry construction built around a complex steel frame. We worked closely with our engineers and fabricators to optimize story heights and marrying in with the hollow core concrete ground and first floors.

The stunning ten-metre-high stairwell was constructed using laser levels for accuracy. This enabled the beautiful staircase to fit perfectly against the masonry and featured lighting further showcasing the beautiful design. The first-floor bedroom suites all benefit from stunning views, privacy and special amenities.

The galleried landing overlooks the spacious open plan living areas and make the most of the south facing garden and breathtaking landscape. Special considerations were taken in to account regarding the technical aspects of the large south facing window panes that bring alive these uninterrupted views.

Particular topographical and environmental studies were undertaken, bat roosts were rehoused, and all necessary steps to implement renewable energy sources such as solar panels, heat-pump, special solar filters, waste management system and rainwater harvesting only to name a few, ensuring maintenance efficiency and sustainability of the estate.

Further extensive landscaping works were developed to preserve the already established parts of the gardens, woods and paddock. Finally, an extensive scheme for new planted borders, terraces and transplantation of larger trees was introduced to boost biodiversity.
