Great to be working with Martin and the team, helping showcase their fantastic projects.
We’re excited to showcase the start of Phase 1 at ‘Kingfishers’, our latest farmstead development nestled in the beautiful British countryside. 🏡✨ This initial phase, which kicked off in December 2023, includes the demolition of a large agricultural shed and the construction of a stunning oak-framed pool house, complete with a new pool. We’re also converting two equestrian sheds into garages with mezzanine floors, a workshop, and a state of the art paddle tennis court. 🎾 A key focus of this project is sustainability. We’ve completely overhauled the entire site’s infrastructure with advanced innovative systems, including: 🌿 The installation of a ground source heat pump system, using 11 vertical boreholes averaging 190m each! This system extracts heat from the ground to provide renewable energy, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting down on emissions. 💧 A 30,000L rainwater harvesting system, essential for water neutrality. This system collects and stores rainwater, reducing demand on mains water and helping the site meet sustainability targets. ☀️ A large-scale solar PV array, complete with battery storage, to support self-sufficiency across the estate. This system harnesses solar energy, storing excess power for later use, ensuring the site operates efficiently even when the sun is absent. This mechanical and electrical design aims to ensure the entire property becomes largely self-sufficient. Sustainability is the primary focus of all our projects. This involves implementing advanced systems to minimise reliance on external utilities, such as renewable energy sources, sustainable water management, and efficient energy storage solutions. 🚧🌱 #Kingfishers #SustainableConstruction #EcoFriendly #GroundSourceHeatPump #SolarEnergy #RainwaterHarvesting #BritishCountryside #Renewables #ConstructionProject #EnergyEfficiency #SelfSufficient #GreenBuilding
