An existing 1970s suburban house in Cringleford, Norwich is to be dramatically transformed into a stylish, contemporary dwelling, via a carefully choreographed series of extensions and alterations.
Design studies took stylistic influence from ‘mid-century modern’ architectural examples. The proposal appears as a new, standalone dwelling, that is boldly different from neighbouring properties. However, it fits seamlessly within the street scene, which hosts a variety of house styles.
Energy efficiency drives the design, ensuring a significant thermal uplift of the existing building fabric. The project achieves this through careful planning and modern techniques. Passive ventilation systems and solar heating strategies shape the room layout and internal configuration, maximizing natural airflow and capturing solar energy efficiently. Additionally, the design incorporates a green roof, which enhances insulation and biodiversity. Also, a large photovoltaic (PV) array integrates into the design, contributing to renewable energy production.
