Lofthouse win the development of a contemporary luxury 7,000 sq ft riverside residence in Buckinghamshire
We are starting work on an astonishing contemporary luxury riverside residence in a highly desirable village in Buckinghamshire within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Beauty (AONB).
Designed by the esteemed architectural practice, Ascot Design, this 3-storey, 7,000 sq ft residence will appear to gracefully “float" above the undulating landscape, protecting it from any potential river incursions while providing extraordinary views over an acre of riverside gardens.
The contemporary house concept was inspired by its riverside location and Frank Lloyd Wright's "organic architecture", exemplified by the philosophy of the arts & crafts movement, which at its core promoted the construction of buildings that exuded harmony with their respective environments and enhanced their surroundings.
The visual interest is derived from its simplicity, an elegant palette of glass and white render, dark grey window frames complimenting the ever-changing shadows from the overhang, steps in the facade, glass corners and clean lines. The large, glazed panels reflect the magnificent trees surrounding the dwelling, while the understated design allows it to merge seamlessly with the landscape.
The intelligent, sustainable design includes using air source heat pumps, solar panels, underfloor heating, and air cooling in concert with modern energy and water-efficient systems. Our site waste management plan, active during all stages of construction, outlines where possible using locally sourced and environmentally friendly materials, with careful consideration for waste separation and responsible recycling.
We look forward to seeing how this elegantly designed modern residence will emerge from and enhance the breathtaking landscape in the coming months.
