Winner of the Loughton Design Award 2020

The house sits gracefully on the edge of Epping Forest, echoing the local Arts and Crafts vernacular with a strong gable and traditional form and materials.  Green oak framing, single storey brick and painted render is distinctive throughout Loughton and is referenced by the verticality of the timber panelling and glazing within the scheme.

A soft palette of natural materials and the exposed timber roof structure were carefully considered to reflect the semi rural vernacular.
