Family house for a lifetim's needs
Article Abstract:
Panter Hudspith, architects, were commissioned to design a five bedroom low maintenance, energy efficient private home in Surrey. The house benefits from solar gain in the winter and passive cooling in the summer through the use of a thermostatically controlled rooflight at the top of a tower. The roof was built using small asymmetric timber trusses and support of the floors was by means of steel channels. The cost analysis, outline specification and working details are given.
