Home Counties
This project was a 7,000 square foot luxury new-build home for a private client located in a Home Counties village, won through competitive tender.
The Challenge
The four-bedroom, two-storey house was designed as two wings beneath ‘butterfly’ wing roofs separated by a central atrium. Brennan also built a two-storey artist’s studio and a single storey one-bedroom staff house. The west wing incorporates a basement and a swimming pool, spa, and gym complex.
Works included:
- Sheet piled temporary works.
- Reinforced concreted pile substructure.
- Deep excavations below the water table for the new basement swimming pool and for rainwater storage tank.
- Reinforced concrete superstructure with reinforced concrete butterfly profile roof structure.
- Non-loadbearing insulated timber infill panels.
- Multiple external claddings – mixed timber, decorative stone and Corten steel.
- A new foul drain connection to the existing drain at a nearby road junction.
- Underfloor heating via Air Source Heat Pumps with comfort cooling.
- Lucent lighting with intelligent controls.
- Full integrated AV system.
- Extensive grounds remodelling and external works.
The bespoke architecture, with top of the range high quality finishes means that the completed product is a one of a kind ‘forever home’ for our client.
Solution
A striking contemporary residence delivered to an exceptional standard, combining structural engineering excellence with refined architectural detailing. The completed home reflects Brennan’s ability to execute technically complex newbuild projects while maintaining meticulous attention to finish and craftsmanship throughout.
