Residential Design
This five-bedroom family home replaces former agricultural sheds on a Wirral farm estate, creating a benchmark for sustainable rural living. The design thoughtfully integrates agricultural aesthetics with contemporary living through its kinked form that strategically frames views of the River Dee and a historic village church.A central atrium connects both floors at the geometry's pivot point, creating a dynamic core that maximizes natural light and ventilation. The practical ground floor layout features four children's bedrooms at the gable ends, while the first floor contains the main living spaces - including a kitchen with terrace and master suite - all optimized for the panoramic views.The property sets new standards for eco-conscious construction, featuring a high-performance prefabricated timber frame system, extensive photovoltaic panels with battery storage, and air source heat pump. These systems work in harmony to create a net-zero ready home that significantly reduces its environmental impact while maintaining exceptional comfort.The exterior combines black sinusoidal metal cladding with a buff brick base, creating a modern interpretation of agricultural architecture that respects its rural setting while delivering 21st-century environmental performance.
