The eight individual homes were each designed to overcome the restrictions posed by the mature trees on each plot, integrating the development into the landscape.
The spectacular southern view is a key feature, with a large sycamore tree central to the site being retained as a focal point around which the access road snakes.
The palette of local materials – including stone – gives each home a striking identity whilst giving the whole development a visual theme. Timber frames and air source heat pumps are among the sustainable credentials.
Eight luxury homes were created on the redundant site of a former hospital and care home in Charnwood Forest.
The steeply sloping site with mature trees saw many of the home sold off-plan enabling buyers to help shape the final designs of their new properties.
Careful selection of materials integrates the scheme into its picturesque setting.
