Discover Your Dream Home: The Perfect Blend of Sustainability, Efficiency, and Luxury
Introducing this extraordinary custom-designed 5 bedrooms home that blends cutting-edge technology with eco-conscious materials. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful and sought after Wychwood, a few steps from the river (a comfortable distance from the flood line), surrounded by mature trees, this stunning residence is built with a unique approach to sustainability, energy efficiency, and comfort. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to create an unparalleled living experience, combining innovative design with a commitment to environmental responsibility.
At the heart of this home is its state-of-the-art building structure. Utilizing unique 12-inch thick structurally insulated panels, this home goes beyond traditional building techniques. The innovative panels feature a non-sandwich design with no thermal bridging and incorporate a light-gauge metal stud frame with expanded polystyrene insulation in a thermally broken assembly. The result? An insulative value that is double that of a traditional home, drastically reducing energy consumption while enhancing comfort.
You'll experience the difference in energy efficiency from the moment you step inside. With energy consumption a small fraction of a typical home, this residence provides significant savings on heating and cooling, making it as cost-effective as it is sustainable. Radiant floor heating makes this home extremely comforting and cozy. The design has been conceived to maximize the amount of natural light while still preserving a cooler temperature in the summer creating an exceptionally luminous interior space.
* Heated exclusively through geothermal energy.
* Heat distribution via radiant floor heat throughout the entire house. 11 distinct heating zones for maximum control and flexibility.
* Walls and floors are remarkably soundproof
* Heat Recovery Ventilation system extracts thermal energy from the air before discharging and transfers it to the incoming air.
* Passive solar - south-facing roof overhangs are extended out to prevent summer sun infiltration, but permit winter sun infiltration which directly heats the concrete thermal mass * Most windows on the south side to maximize solar heat gain in winter.
* Built with sustainable and environmentally-friendly building materials - including:
Bamboo flooring, Cork flooring, Recycled countertops (ECO Cosentino) in the bathrooms
Marmoleum flooring in one bathroom, Recycled roof shingles - Enviroshakes - these roofing tiles are manufactured from 95% post-industrial recycled materials (very long lasting)
Maibec sustainable wood siding, All high efficiency appliances and bathroom/kitchen faucets.
This home is a shining example of excellence in comfort, elegance and environmental sustainability.
