the bedroom and bathroom furniture – according to his own personal vision of the space. It features sleek white cabinetry, an island preparation area and a conveniently positioned wall of Gaggenau appliances. However, it is the bathroom that is his and Sarka’s favourite part of the house. Bathed in natural light and decorated with Bisazza mosaic tiling in varying shades of grey, its atmosphere is peaceful and calming. It measures a generous 30 square metres, and is complete with spa bath, walk-in shower, and adjoining sauna and steam room. Sarka also has a beauty treatment room in this area of the house for when she sees clients, while John has his own ensuite.
Huf Haus prides itself on the fact that it follows 78

the strictest sustainability criteria, and its DGNB certification is proof that each house leaving its factory in Hartenfels has met German Sustainable Building Control’s gold standard. For Paul and Sarka, this aspect of their home is the biggest revelation. “The energy consumption of the house is phenomenally low,” says Paul. “We meet the German standard for 25 years from now. We have 88 light fittings, but our total energy bill – including a heated swimming pool – is £400 a year. Plus we get £2,000 back because we have ground-source heating and solar panels under the Government’s scheme. So we’re net carbon negative in a way that actually generates an income!” he laughs. Added to that, in spite of the fact that 80 per cent of the walls are glass, he says the temperature and air quality in the house always feel exactly right because of the advanced built- in climate control system and ventilation technology. “We have a sophisticated heating system that produces 95 per cent heat retention with underfloor heating, and that inverts in the summer to become underfloor cooling. And as the air in the house is being continually refreshed, you’ve always got this feeling of fresh air.”
The openness of the interior makes it particularly family-friendly and the glass walls enable them to feel constantly connected to one another. This means that whether little John is somewhere indoors or playing outside in the garden, Paul and Sarka always know where he is.
