Foxcobe Rise House

The house is designed around its mature landscape setting and will be built to Passivhaus standards, incorporating the following features:

 

  • Biodiverse ecology lake and sedum roof

  • Low carbon material use including, rammed earth structural wall, timber frame, natural stone etc.

  • Oversailing terraces to 3 sides for year-round use

  • Building elements extending into the landscape

  • Retention of mature oak tree for natural shading

  • South facing open plan Kitchen/ Dining/ Living space overlooking the lake, landscape and terrace

  • Infinity pool with bridge connection to house

  • Airtight timber frame construction to Passivhaus standards

  • Net Zero carbon in use

  • Exemplar landscape design integrated with the building

  • Significant ecological enhancements, including an ecology lake and wildflower meadows both around the property and incorporated into the building’s roof design

 

This design approach has resulted in a compact, landscape-driven design that integrates the building with its surroundings by extending its walls into adjacent landscape features, such as boundary walls, a carport, and a vegetable patch. The intention is to create a building that harmonizes with the site’s natural orientation while enhancing landscape features like the ecology lake, reed beds, and wildflower meadows.
