Frame House: Modern New Build Home in Historic Conservation Area

Frame House is a contemporary new build home located in a historic conservation area, where modern architectural design harmoniously integrates with the charm of Victorian surroundings. Celebrating exceptional craftsmanship, Frame House features carefully selected materials like handmade moulded bricks and timber, blending modern aesthetics with traditional elements characteristic of the neighborhood’s heritage. This fusion of contemporary design and craftsmanship allows Frame House to stand out as a new build that respects the past while embracing the future.

Sustainability is a core principle at Frame House, enhancing both environmental performance and a connection to nature. The home incorporates a highly insulated building fabric, an efficient heating system, and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system, significantly lowering energy consumption. A biodiverse roof adds to the local ecology and enhances energy efficiency, while strategic solar studies ensured that solar glazing and rooflights are optimally placed to bring in natural light and minimize overheating, creating a comfortable living environment throughout the year.

Frame House is a careful response to the unique challenges of building within a conservation area, balancing modern living needs with respect for history. With its clean lines, sustainable natural materials, and functional design, Frame House enriches the streetscape with a contemporary yet restrained presence that complements the traditional neighborhood.
