Falconers II
New-build low-energy house
Project Location: Lingfield, Surrey UK
Client: Geoff and Judy Lean
Size: 290m²
Contract value: £342,000
Quantity Surveyor and Contract Administrators: F.R. Gainsbury
Structural Engineer: Price and Myers
Sustainability Consultant: Fulcrum Consulting
CSH Assessor: Inbuilt
Main Contractor: WJ Butcher
Timber Frame Contractor: Anson Timberworks
Timescale: Completed November 2010
Replacing the original house on the site 'Falconers', which was tragically destroyed by a fire in February 2008, this house is an extremely sustainable residential building. As the environmental editor of the Independent newspaper Mr. Lean is a true authority on the need for low-energy development. The new house meets 'Passivhaus' standards of building fabric design, sequester carbon through lime and hemp construction and has been planned for a future conversion to level six of the Code for Sustainable homes, currently providing a 90% reduction in carbon emissions based on a 'standard' UK new-build. The design achieves this whilst re-creating the Arts and Crafts motifs of the original house through advanced computer modeling.
