foam post-construction to ensure thermal efficiency was maximised. The only downside to the foil backed insulation in the walls is that their Wi-Fi is not great!


INTERIORS


Walking into this clean-lined, spacious house now, a few weeks after completion, the tranquil white-painted interiors belie the fact it has been a labour of love. Through the centrally placed, oversized front door is a hallway which leads your gaze straight through to the rear garden off the kitchen/dining/living space. Sarah and Andy’s meticulous approach is visible in the precisely aligned ceiling LEDs in the hallway and beyond: “Every single light lines up.”


To the left is what will be an office, but currently just houses an upright piano, donated by Sarah’s mum, who was to have a bedroom here with her dad before their plans changed and they moved nearer to the Balls. There’s a thin but full height curtain wall-style window to the front providing ample light but also privacy, plus acoustic and thermal benefits, being triple-glazed. Window frames are painted black so that they’re less visible from a distance.


In the hallway there’s a very large plant cupboard – almost a room – containing a 300 litre water tank, manifold for the downstairs underfloor heating, and the air handling units for the Mechanical Ventilation with Heat
