PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR SHORTLIST
ADAMS+COLLINGWOOD ARCHITECTS: THE BOATHOUSE
Known for their inspired designs, the Adams+Collingwood team were immediately excited by the idea of building a home that would function as a practical family residence while also respecting the outstanding natural beauty of its surroundings using materials that were not only imported by the owner’s timber import business but also to be shown off in the building. The species of timber included in the build and used for different purposes ranges from the Douglas Fir for the timber frame and flooring, Yellow Cedar for the cladding and roof shingles and Sitka Spruce for the curved corridor bench.
INNOVARÉ SYSTEMS: LITTLE KELHAM
Through the use of advanced structural timber technology, Little Kelham has been created to act as a catalyst for change and a model for developing sustainable homes. An offsite manufactured Structural Insulated Panel solution was specified to realise the environmental vision for attaining the lowest possible carbon footprint. Innovaré’s BBA Approved i-SIP system achieved the challenging design brief to deliver 153 exceptionally sustainable and energy efficient homes in line with Passivhaus guidelines.
NEIL DAVIES ARCHITECTS: GARDEN BUILDING, GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE
The client wanted a contemplative and immersive space to enjoy views over the garden and the surrounding countryside, which would also serve as a room to cut and arrange flowers in. Set within the garden of a Grade II listed cottage, we designed a building that is a counterpoint to the Tudor oak- framed house. A contemporary timber framed structure was the natural choice for the studio, that would create the warmth of exposed timber, set against an exposed concrete slab and black Valchromat wall panelling.
Hurstpierpoint College’s new Boarding House encompasses a three-storey boarding house with an internal floor area of 2496m2, providing 76 beds across single rooms and shared dormitories, together with ancillary facilities and three staff flats. With its traditional design to help blend in with the existing buildings in the area, this project really highlights the flexibility of the Streif system, as the resulting building is anything but traditional with a low carbon, low energy, and sustainable timber core, enhanced by triple glazing and finished externally with sections of contemporary zinc roofing.
WB TIMBER INNOVATIONS: PRIVATE HOME
The client wished to combine benefits of timber frame and natural insulation materials for zero energy living - but with extensive glazing and limited roof area for PV arrays this was always going to be a challenge. This site now contains a single-storey “statement” home in a contemporary style, achieving net zero energy and with extensive glazing to enjoy impressive views out across countryside vistas.
