Nestled within a serene woodland setting in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in Kent, this architectural new-build property is a masterclass in sustainable, modern design. The structure combines a robust steel frame with innovative thin-joint hollow concrete block construction and timber elements, achieving a harmonious balance between durability and environmental sensitivity.
The exterior is finished with a striking combination of locally sourced stone, sleek zinc cladding, and expansive triple-glazed windows. These materials blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, while the floor-to-ceiling glazing invites the beauty of the woodland indoors, flooding the living spaces with natural light and offering uninterrupted views of the landscape.
Sustainability is at the heart of the project. The property is powered by an extensive solar array and heated via a biomass boiler, achieving an exceptional sustainability rating. These renewable energy systems ensure the home is energy-efficient, environmentally responsible, and self-sufficient.
The design reflects a contemporary aesthetic while respecting the integrity of the natural environment. With its thoughtful material palette, cutting-edge construction methods, and commitment to sustainability, this woodland retreat is a true testament to the possibilities of innovative, eco-conscious architecture.
