Muswell House

A new detached house designed to match its neighbours in its use of stone and tiles, but not in its form.

The distinctive curved roof maximises the internal space, and the wall of glass to the open plan living room capitalises on the splendid views to the south.

The house is innovative structurally and environmentally: prefabricated engineered timber infills the primary steel frame, a ground source heat pump provides space heating, and a heat recovery ventilation system uses the stale exhaust air to heat the incoming fresh air.

The house has a very small carbon footprint.
