WHITE LODGE
OXTED, SURREY
DYER GRIMES ARCHITECT
THE PROJECT
Together with Dyer Grimes we won the British Home Award, in 2013, for this ultra modern family home. Replacing a 1960s bungalow, this crisp and square cut house uses modern building technologies combined with high quality materials, such as hardwood cladding. Despite the large volume of glass throughout, it is a significantly energy efficient dwelling, featuring solar hot water collectors on the roof, a highly sustainable drainage system and an air source pump circulating heat around the entire house.
SPECIFIC ELEMENTS OF THE BUILD
In our planning, we had to allow for restricted access to the property due to its location in a residential green belt. Other considerations in the design brief, included the volume and size of the panes of glass, a cantilevered canopy and steel framework – all sited on a slope.
