Although the architectural language is early 18th century, this 20,000 square foot country house will perform to 21st century standards by combing environmentally sensitive new technologies, for example, heating fuelled by “woodchips” sourced from the estate’s woodland. The project included new out buildings, gardens and the re-planning of the estate. Click here to view additional photos >> |

Mere Farm |
GQA designed a house to replace the existing 1960s building in a traditional classical manner complimenting the surrounding area. The proposed two storey ‘U’ shaped design encloses a ‘Cour d’honneur’. Sustainable construction using geo-thermal heat pumps, photovoltaic cells, woodchip burners and a ‘natural’ swimming pool was integral to the project. Click here to view additional photos >> |
