A new build studio and workshop used the existing concrete slabs as raft foundations, whilst the former generator was wrapped up in locally grown cedar and given a shingle roof to add thermal mass to the concrete roof slab. Heating is with an air-source heat pump augmented by solar panels.

Working with Dewhurst Macfarlane, David Bennett and Peter Deer Associates, we recently developed a GGBS concrete structure with a self finished interior to create thermal flywheel. Adjustable vertical louvres protect the exposed west façade from over heating, water is harvested for use in the garden and an airsource heat pump works with southfacing solar panels on the roof to lessen reliance on the grid.

A slim pool in the basement is planned in a later phase.

The project due on site later this year. The 51pct Project team is Cathi, Hazel, Anderson, Jack, George and Peter. The Quantity Surveor is Jackson Coles
