Energy efficient retrofit

BRIEF

Originally built in the 1970’s this bungalow in Cornwall needed to be transformed for a far more energy efficient modern day while also greatly improving the arrangement of the accommodation. Also creating ample levels of daylight to the interior and panoramic views out over the fields and out to sea.

DESIGN

A single large new rear extension and substantial upgrading of existing fabric and all new systems and services. The old main building houses the bedrooms and bathroom and the new extension provides a single open plan living space with views out over the countryside and to the sea beyond. Careful design, detailing and specification has resulted in a 95% reduction in CO² emissions. The whole house is designed to be energy efficient with high levels of insulation and air tightness, heat recovery ventilation, and the selection of sustainable or recyclable building materials.

'Hurditch Architecture transformed our jaded 2 bedroomed 1970’s bungalow into an eco-friendly, beautiful home. We couldn’t have been happier with the result: a light-filled extension and an energy-efficient heating system which was economical to run.'
