"Green roof" house

Warwickshire

Green Roof house, Warwickshire

Client: Private clients

Status: Feasibility stage

 

This proposal for a bespoke, contemporary private house, is one of several options made to the client.

This dramatic, but environmentally friendly design was inspired by the fantastic panoramic views from the site.

The green roof adds to the ‘natural’ qualities of the site, whilst the protective inner courtyard it creates is used as a man made structured landscape. The design enjoys both of these qualities by offering views equally to these contradictory sides of the site.

The dramatic ‘stealth bomber’ like form of the building emerges from the ground, thus blurring the relationship between landscape and building further, whilst its plan form emphasises the view into the distance.
