Home for Three Generations
A multi-generation family commissioned these two new homes in rural Hampshire in 2015. Their brief to Adams+Collingwood Architects was to realise their family dream and design a pair of sustainable houses for three generations to make their home.
Sustainability formed an integral part of the brief from the outset. The clients asked for low maintenance homes that would pay for themselves and Adams+Collingwood worked hard to push for a sustainable build within budget. Although AECB certification was not a requirement, the houses employ the ‘silver standard’ ethos for sustainable homes. Construction was designed to suit traditional and sustainable building methods, with a local builder and tradespeople employed on site.
