New Build
An inspirational, sustainable, energy efficient family home
Tucked between three fields, this Paragraph 84 (Para 79) scheme reinterprets and reforms two former farm structures that historically sat at the junction of three fields. A derelict stone building and a small Dutch barn are preserved and reimagined, linked by a striking contemporary connection that defines the arrangement of spaces within the home. This design balances respect for traditional farm architecture with a modern, functional living environment, creating a home that harmonises with its countryside setting.
Our clients sought a modest, sensitive, and well-designed home on the land they have farmed their entire lives. This Paragraph 84 (Para 79) dwelling was unanimously approved by Derbyshire Dales District Council on 11th August, following officers’ recommendation, marking a milestone in rural, sustainable residential design.
Restoring and repairing the landscape
The landscape proposals are equally sensitive in their conception; seeking to restore & re-establish the hedgelines which create the historic small field pattern that prevails in the area. This innovative scheme demonstrates how an exceptionally well designed modestly sized dwelling can significantly enhance its setting while demonstrating sensitivity to a site’s defining character.
