Gbolade Design Studio designed and gained Planning for this single dwelling passivhaus scheme in Whistable, Kent. This unique site with constraints including; a challenging topography, the majority of the site being located in a flood zone, and the site being located in a Conservation Area, it was important that the resulting response adopted a sensitive approach in accommodating these climatic and contextual characteristics. The resulting scheme is a single residential dwelling passivhaus that works with the sites’ topography; starting as a contextually responsive single-storey building addressing the main road, and accommodating an significant change of level internally, expressing dramatic internal manipulation of light and volume that overlook the beautiful dense woods and stream running towards the rear of the site. The building was completed in early 2024.
