Project Overview
Architectural Emporium designed this five bedroom family home on the Wirral. The property is located on an established farm away from the main farm house. It replaced a series of farm sheds and borrowed the agricultural aesthetic. The simple kinked form frames the key views of the village church at one end and the river Dee to the side and rear.
An atrium is located where the geometry shifts. This is also where you move between ground and first floor levels. The ground floor features four identical bedrooms for the children positioned to gable ends. The ground floor also includes a laundry, plant room, living room with external access, bathrooms and an office.
The first floor features a kitchen dining room with terrace, a large lounge, WC, bathroom and a master bedroom with dressing room. The key spaces take advantage of the spectacular views of the surrounding area. A series of external spaces on different levels link to the primary living spaces.
The incredibly sustainable house was constructed using an Open Wall system of prefabricated timber frame panels. It is highly insulated with photovoltaic panels to the roof with batteries in the plant room. An air source heat pump serves the under-floor heating system to all spaces. The house is clad in sinusoidal black metal cladding with a buff brick skirt.
