Highwood We were appointed as executive architects by our client on this 11,000 sq.ft. new dwelling overlooking the Thames. As well as providing construction information and site services our client’s brief was to make extensive changes to an existing approved scheme. This work included a complete re-design internally creating a more fluid configuration and a number of external alterations which included elevational proportions/design and the extent of accommodation at first floor roof level.
This project employs the use of ground source heat pumps and extensive green roof systems the later assisting with surface water drainage as well as softening the impact of the building in its woodland setting. The lower ground floor accommodation includes an expansive living area, a gymnasium with sprung floor, indoor pool, undercroft parking and staff accommodation. This is served by a substantial external terrace with links to the garden and private woodland walks.
