Old Holloway
WINNER of 2018 UK Passivhaus Awards - Small Projects Category
A seductively simple self-build utilising an innovative pre-fabricated straw-bale/ timber construction. Perservering through a 4 year planning process, the single storey detached home sits snuggly within its rural surroundings.The proposal creates an informal courtyard utilising the existing huts on site and the dwelling an arrangement that is typical for the local area. The scale and massing of the simple single-storey detached dwelling, with pitched roof and south facing verandah, is sympathetic to local vernacular architecture.

Carrowbreck Meadow
WINNER of 2018 UK Passivhaus Awards - Large Residential Category
Carrowbreck Meadow consists of two 3-bedroom, six 4-bedroom detached houses, four 2-bedroom and two 3-bedroom semi-detached houses all of which are Passivhaus certified, completed in October 2016. The design response is a contemporary rendition of a well established and local typology, a Norfolk style defined by a number of references to the historic barn vernacular seen throughout the county. A material pallet of white render, black stained timber cladding and either slate or plain red roof tiles also reflects the materials used in the adjacent Carrowbreck House.
