Little Elms

TYPE OF SCHEME:  Residential

LOCATION: Newcastle upon Tyne

A two storey five-bedroom family home designed to passivhaus principles achieving a highly energy efficient dwelling. Adopting modern methods of construction, specification, and high-quality materials create an overtly contemporary design whilst acknowledging its conservation area setting by respecting the original walled garden that encloses the site and the established mature landscape setting. The building is essentially a series of intersecting cubes which are pushed/pulled back to create a series of interlocking planes with asymmetric vertical openings and disposition of the envelope materials.
