BakerBrown Studio’s new house in the south of England sets high standards for low energy consumption
, having spent several decades working on low-energy building solutions. These range from minimising emissions during construction to designing interiors that maximise energy efficiency. This new Kent house design in the village of Offham is a good example. The home combines locally sourced materials with an emphasis on passive solar heating and stack ventilation.
Flint stones were dug up to form the cladding, set in place with traditional raked mortar, using an experienced local contractor . Inside, the living and sleeping spaces are joined by a home office. A large ash sliding door can close off the private elements of the house, which include the only upstairs room, the master bedroom.
Passive heating and cooling means little unless the structure is highly insulated. The Offham house uses a timber frame, packed with insulation, along with stack ventilation to draw air through the structure.
