Cotswolds Waters
A series of bespoke sustainable holiday homes oriented to maximise solar orientation potential
The idyllic family homes are set in over 110 acres with four pristine freshwater lakes, woodlands and meadows. the lakes at Cotswolds Waters is a secure estate in the heart of the Cotswolds.
The location of the individual house types on the plots have been informed by the sun, views and site massing. Each house has been designed specifically for a certain solar orientation type, so each building will always make the most of their respective positioning from the sun.
The Vision
The positioning of each house on its plot has been carefully informed by the sun’s path, views, and site massing. By understanding summer and winter sun angles, we optimise passive solar gains and ensure every building makes the most of its specific orientation.
