Low Energy Family House

The project is a ground floor extension, loft conversion and complete refurbishment of a semi-detached house. Office Ten Architecture was approached by a young family wanting to transform the house they had bought into a low-energy house with a contemporary layout. A cork clad extension was added towards the garden, and a zinc dormer to the roof. The external fabric was upgraded considerably and a new air-source heat pump included. A new connection to the rear garden was created with two glazed pivot doors. The house is designed to provide space for both family time and working from home.
