SELF BUILD IN LEICESTER

A #ThrowBackThursday post coming at you from 2012.  One of our Architectural Impressions produced from our sketch proposals for self build project in Oadby, Leicester.

This striking contemporary new self-build home project, was created to provide a replacement dwelling and included a generous provision of green technologies, from Solar PV to Air Source Heat Pumps.  The front facade was of a render and timber clad finish, with first floor balconies and bespoke architectural features.  Unfortunately, this project never got off the drawing board and the clients moved from their home rather than replacing the existing dwelling to meet their needs.  It is always a very brave client that can knock down and rebuild a property, and a tight call on whether the scheme is financially advantageous or not.
