The Challenge
Our Clients acquired this former farmstead and the derelict farm buildings that surrounded it, with the intention of creating a modern, high quality family home and restoring the landscape they sit within all with an emphasis on sustainability and respect for the natural environment. We worked closely with the client and design team from inception to completion, providing key advice and support as the design of the structure, servicing, finishes and on the selection of materials to make sure the Client’s exacting design and quality aspirations were achieved whilst keeping costs within the budget set.
The Outcome
As well as meeting the Client’s sustainability brief, the benefits of selecting the CLT frame in terms of speed of construction were really apparent once the project went onsite.
The completed project has created a warm and welcoming family home with striking design features including 3 freestanding tall stone chimneys, asymmetrical pitched roofs and an impressive double-height entrance hall.
Hannington Farm won the 2019 RIBA Regional East Midlands Award.
