Overlooking Poole Harbour, our new contemporary family home on Branksea Avenue, Hamworthy was completed this month and handed over to the happy owners.
The striking new house provides a unique and innovative home that enhances the waterside setting and enjoys far reaching harbour views – a key requirement of the brief. A limited palette of materials were selected for their aesthetic qualities, robustness and ability to blend into and mirror the surrounding natural palette of sea, sand and trees.
To the rear, the long garden incorporates a swimming pool, covered deck and boat store leading directly to the waters edge.
Sustainable technologies and have been utilised throughout the home including PhotoVoltaic Roof Panels with battery storage and Air Source Heat Pumps. The house will generate over 115% of its energy need (16,792 kWh/y), with an overall net gain energy generation of 2,213kWh/y with on site renewables.
Sedum roofs have been applied to the single storey outbuildings, with the addition off Bee Bricks and Bat Boxes to help with biodiversity.
We look forward to seeing the house when the landscaping is all planted and flourishing.
