The design of this new house in Muswell Hill is influenced by the roughcast render and radius details of local Edwardian domestic architecture. A neutral palette of timber, textured lime plaster and natural stone are selected both for their visual qualities and their low embodied energy.
The project is designed to achieve Passivhaus certification with very high levels of insulation, airtight construction, triple glazing throughout and mechanical ventilation. The house will be timber-framed with engineered timber I-joists, this construction approach minimises thermal bridging and embodied energy in the structure.
