The Warren is a bespoke family home designed to include new and innovative materials and technologies to reduce its environmental impact.
On the edge of Bitteswell village, the home was created using several specialist suppliers including an insulated foundation system from Sweden.
The Warren has a fully automated building management system with intelligent heating and lighting control, security systems and a home cinema.
Hybrid solar thermal roof panels collect energy and heat. A below-ground thermal energy bank stores the thermal energy from the panels.
The Warren is a two-storey, domestic scale dwelling that was designed to look unimposing within its landscape setting.
It was constructed with a timber frame which is clad externally with a combination of white render and Thermowood timber cladding. The cladding was bespoke and set out to a specific pattern.
Slimline glazed windows and doors provide floor-to-ceiling glazing to the east wing of the house and large sliding doors provide access to the formal garden space.
