This new house is 700m2 with extensive views of the surrounding countryside and is designed to link visually with the existing lake. A new boat house/home office has also been constructed on the lakeside. The orientation of the building maximises passive solar gain when required and passive ventilation. Energy efficient systems using the lake as a thermal sink provides additional heating and cooling as necessary.  The project was the overall winner of the Aylesbury Vale Design Award 2008.
