project running on time and on budget, and bringing all the trades together at the right times without being constantly let down.” Trevor was able to work with local trades and businesses he knew and trusted.

The home has a smart control system to maimise thermal eficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is highly insulated so heat loss and solar gain is minimised – vital in a heavily glazed building. Smart zonal temperature controls delivered through underoor heating also minimises wasted energy. Trevor worked with energy consultants to create the bespoke high performing triple-glazed windows and energy control systems that constantly regulate thermal comfort.

The panels are sound dampening and can remove reverberation within a room to improve acoustics.

While the bedrooms are still being finished, the wow actor in son Roccos room is already in place: a feature wall created by a grafiti artist rom he Mural ompany who created a bespoe design to reect Roccos favourite things (which include football).
