| Pyllaucoediog is a new private house, widely acclaimed for its sustainable, rural design. | |
| The clients had approached us with an interesting problem. They had bought a derelict stone barn in the middle of a marsh on the dark side of a wood. It had planning permission to demolish and re-build as a banal bungalow. Kedrick, a planning consultant (Carlisle Davies & North) had negotiated with the planners to relocate the building to a more healthy part of the site. The clients wanted a sustainable, contemporary rural design. The planners wanted a barn. | Our
solution was to produce a design based on the best energy conserving
aspects of vernacular design (using the topography for shelter, re-use
of materials) while employing today's energy conservation (orientation
for passive solar gain, insulation). The contour-hugging plan shrugs off the weather and is reflected internally as attractive split levels. Client: Mr & Mrs Kedrick Davies |
