Architectural Design in Nottingham

Image
  Nothing quite demonstrates our company slogan ‘. . . designed for living’ quite like an interior photograph from one of our previously completed projects.   We were commissioned in 2017 to help create 5 new dwellings in Rempstone, Nottingham for a local house builder.   Now completed, the properties definitely boast that elusive ‘wow’ factor and nowhere more so than this open plan Living Room and Dining Room design with feature dual aspect ‘gel’ fire and sliding bi-folding doors allowing views right through into the open countryside beyond.   Find out more at Architectural Design in Nottingham   #Architecture #PDArchitecture #ArchitecturalServices #ArchitecturalDesign #Rempstone #Nottingham #NewHomes #TBT #residential   . . . another  #ThrowbackThursday  post brought to you from our project archives.

Planning Permission in Lincolnshire

Image
  PLANNING APPROVAL: We are delighted to have received planning approval for our reserved matters application for 17 new dwellings at a great little site in  #Lincolnshire . The scheme is a mix of single storey and 1 ½ storey properties, faced in a mixture of buff facing brick and vertical timber cladding.  The homes are largely grouped around a central green open space and the site further benefits from glorious countryside views surrounding the properties.   Being in Lincoln, (a low lying area), the site levels are being raised above the 1 in 1000 year flood level (+climate change event). Additional flood resilient design measures are also to be put in place to fully protect the homes for the longer term.   In the interests of biodiversity and in accordance with Policy 28 of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan (2011-2036), three swift nest bricks are to be incorporated within the external walls of each (1 ½ storey) dwelling.   As a further commitment to a more sustainable desi

Home Energy Battery Storage

  HOME ENERGY BATTERY STORAGE:   Recent retro-fit of a #BatteryStorage unit at one of our previous home extension projects with #SolarPV panels.   So how does it work?   This snapshot is taken at around 10:30am, (on a relatively dull day before the heatwave): The #battery has been part charged already by the #SolarPanels, it’s a time of high demand, (2198 W consumption: working from home and washing machine on). Electricity is being pulled from the Solar Panel Installation and the Battery, (with no electricity being required from the grid).   NOTE: Washing machines, kettles, immersion heaters and electric showers in particular take up a high use of electricity in the home.   Without the washing machine on, this house has a consumption rate of around 200-350w during daylight hours, (even when working from home). So generally the Solar Panels (3.8kW) adequately charge the battery, (subject to weather conditions),  whilst also running the home during daylight hours.  T
