The Brief

Architect Ranbir Lal led the design, embracing the site’s natural slope with a striking cantilevered structure that extends six metres forward. This innovative feature creates a shaded area beneath the house and optimises southern exposure, flooding the interior with natural light. 

The home prioritises energy efficiency, featuring triple-glazed windows, a ground source heat pump, solar panels, and an advanced heat recovery system. Enhanced exterior insulation further boosts its sustainability, establishing a harmonious balance between modern design and environmental responsibility.
