This lakefront diamond in the rough lot was waiting to be discovered by someone with a modern naturalistic vision and passion. Maintaining an eco-friendly, and sustainable build was at the top of the client priority list. Designed and situated to benefit from passive and active solar as well as through breezes from the lake, this indoor/outdoor living space truly establishes a symbiotic relationship with its natural surroundings. The pie-shaped lot provided significant challenges with a street width of 50ft, a steep shoreline buffer of 50ft, as well as a powerline easement reducing the buildable area. The client desired a smaller home of approximately 2500sf that juxtaposed modern lines with the free form of the natural setting. The 250ft of lakefront afforded 180-degree views which guided the design to maximize this vantage point while supporting the adjacent environment through preservation of heritage trees. Prior to construction the shoreline buffer had been rewilded with wildflowers, perennials, utilization of clover and meadow grasses to support healthy animal and insect re-population. The inclusion of solar panels as well as hydroponic heated floors and wood stove supported the owner’s desire to be self-sufficient. Core ten steel was selected as the predominant material to allow it to “rust” as it weathers thus blending into the natural environment.

Our design created a new, contemporary, first floor accommodation across the entire bungalow footprint with a new holistic design. The entire property has been re-clad with modernist white render, providing a seamless transition between old and new. A striking zinc-clad scissor roof design was developed in order to maximise the views across the roofs cape further afield from the garden.

A contemporary house that would sit well in the landscape and respond sensitively to its tree lined site and rural setting. Overlooking sweeping views to the South Downs the design of the house is composed of a series of layers, which echo the horizontality of the fields and distant hills.

This new home in UBC boasts a modern West Coast Contemporary style that is unique and eco-friendly. This sustainable and energy efficient home utilizes solar panels and a geothermal heating/cooling system to offset any electrical energy use throughout the year. Large windows allow for maximum daylight saturation while the Corten steel exterior will naturally weather to blend in with the surrounding trees. The rear garden conceals a large underground cistern for rainwater harvesting that is used for landscape irrigation.
