Lakeside Eco House

Northumberland, Paragraph 55

  • The Lakeside Eco House is designed as a hierarchical collection of fractured, angled blocks, closely arranged along the edge of an artificial lake. The site holds historical significance, with an old well situated nearby.

  • The house is structured as an ensemble of three interconnected elements, each serving a distinct purpose:

    • Living Block – The primary residential space.

    • Relaxation Block – A retreat for rest and leisure.

    • Active Block – Designed for movement and engagement.

    These blocks are linked by transparent glazed connections spanning two levels, reinforcing the sense of openness and fluidity.

  • Beyond the three main blocks, the home also includes:

    • A courtyard and garages, integrating seamlessly with the design.

    • Guest and support accommodation, ensuring comfort and privacy.

  • The angled mono-pitch intensive green roofs serve multiple purposes:

    • They provide height where needed in the interior spaces.

    • They help break down the scale of the structure, softening its impact.

    • They reinforce the home's eco-conscious design, blending sustainability with modern aesthetics.

    This project embodies a bold yet harmonious approach to contemporary country house architecture, balancing innovation with respect for the natural landscape.
