The clients bought the plot for a fantastic view, but with the foundations already put in by the vender to lock in a planning approval that didn’t take the view into account. It was therefore Ke-design’s challenge to design a house to the client’s requirements & taking in the view, while having to stick to the original footprint of the foundations.

A revised planning application was easily achieved, with a mix of external materials of local stone, timber cladding and render.

A highly insulated timber frame construction, underfloor heating, air source heat pump and a log burner keeps the predominantly open plan house efficiently warm.
