I wrote a while back about the conversation between our house and our neighbour’ Mary House<\/a>. Well, Mary has finished (more or less) and the house is now occupied.<\/p>\n A little bit of back history:<\/strong><\/p>\n The house had a planning history and I came into it late with a proposal as the planning was running out to improve the design a bit by changing the ‘super-dormer’ roof to a more sympathetic double pitched design with a linking bridge between the two. This format is a more rural style and evokes the extended school house as illustrated in the link above.<\/p>\n I also helped with some remodelling inside, obtained the retention planning permission and have been inspecting\/certifying the works as it progressed.<\/p>\n The construction is also interesting as it’s of Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF), airtight with heat recovery and ventilation and triple glazed windows.<\/p>\n Anyway, below is the ‘tear-sheet’ on the project and if you’d like more information on what the ‘House of Peacefullness’ is about or on Mary Lynch then CLICK HERE<\/a>:<\/p>\n
