Paragraph 80 House

So, so excited to have landed our first Paragraph 80 house designed by Helen Seymour-Smith.

The proposals include CLT construction for both the structure and internal finish; and a sizable cantilever over the lake to keep us on our toes.

Energy demands will be kept to an absolute minimum by maximising orientation for solar gain, high levels of insulation and air tightness, a MVHR system, high quality triple glazing, a bank of PV-T panels and a water source heat pump to name but a few.

As part of the Paragraph 80 review process, The Design Review Panel concluded that “the design is a well-developed proposal of the highest architectural standards, representing a truly innovative design, which promotes high levels of sustainability. The proposals have demonstrated that they would significantly enhance the immediate setting and are sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area.”
