JFA is proud to have been commissioned to seek approval for a new exemplar dwelling in open countryside. The proposal will offer numerous innovative technologies used and implemented to maximise efficiency for the end user. Those technologies include Thermal mass, Large south facing glazing with brie soleil in strategic locations to prevent over heating, Ground source heat pump, Photovoltaic panel, Sedum grass roof, ‘Green Wall’ linked to the roof to visually split the mass of the building, Underfloor heating, Water features via free flowing controlled out flows from the roof to create the illusion of a water falls off the roof all linked to rain water harvesting, and Tesla battery packs to store electricity.

A significant and important aspect to the proposal is the implementation of ecological enhancements, with carefully positioned landscape pockets, encouragement of wild flower meadow growth, Orchard, natural water features, bat and bird boxes.

The external façade will comprise natural materials to help set the new dwelling delicately into the site constraints, the use of Timber and natural stone will take the forefront in the finish.
