BORDERLANDS

Demolition of an existing 1950’s bungalow near Bath, rebuilt in an energy-efficient minimalist style

A contemporary take on the minimal style.  Lots of south facing glazing and textured oak cladding/white render make this house a feature of the Kingsdown Valley, Bath.

Once the existing building was demolished, a two-storey steel frame was inserted to form the basis of the build. This was then wrapped up in solid masonry blockwork and externally insulated with 120mm EPS and rendered with a thin coat acrylic system.

The Gull Wing roof is a warm-roof Bauder system with a Sedum cover.  Oak cladding of differing thickness was used on some of the elevations to give a 'textured' finish and contrast to the white render.  Minimal aluminium glazing system was used throughout.
​
The external balconies are canterlevered off the steel frame (but thermally broken to minimise thermal bridging).  These are decked in oak, with a single-ply sub base for drainage and a rendered soffit below.

The house is fitted with a whole house MVHR system, with the heating coming from a Spartherm sealed woodstove.
