live among the ever changing light and atmosphere of the ocean.
The architecture of the home is one of total focus on these views, with the main living spaces located on the first floor, combined with a strict brief
to achieve a low carbon home.
Elements of the design ensure that the building’s long term energy performance will be exceptional. Utilizing an Air source heat pump feeding a
wet under-floor heating system with whole house mechanical heat recovery ventilation. Hot water is stored in cylinder tanks assisted by solar
thermal and air source heat pump.
The building will be constructed of Insulated concrete formwork giving it a highly insulated air tight perimeter. To balance the heaviness of the
building fabric a cedar clad balcony frame is introduced to focus on sea views, with vertical and horizontal planes creating a series of sophisticated
spatial layers.
Angled louvers are intended to help create a semi-transparent object whilst avoiding overlooking and provide wind protection. It also creates
adaptable rain canopies, solar shading, cover for a carport and entrance canopy.
The solution will be among one of the most sustainable buildings in Wales.
