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.
