Bow Green
New House, Falmouth, Cornwall
The brief for this new family home was for it to be a sustainable new dwelling which would make the most of sea views and provide comfortable living accommodation. The design combines local traditional building forms with contemporary materials and detailing. The building is ecologically sound, being heavily insulated and utilising ground source heating and solar thermal collectors. The building form is based on a spine wall from which a central staircase and hallway link the more public and private sides of the dwelling.
