CARROT
HILL
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The owners of Carrot Hill came to us with a comprehensive plan: they had an empty plot and their dream house already
designed by a leading London architect. Needless to say, they were itching to get going.
THE CHALLENGE
Carrot Hill was commissioned as a ‘design and build’, as
the client lived outside the UK and wanted us to take on
full responsibility for the project. A large family home, it
needed to be built to exacting standards and follow the
Code for Sustainable homes at Code 5 to qualify as a
zero-imprint property.
We communicated with the client regularly over Skype,
and photographic updates were regularly provided to
keep them fully up to speed with how the build was
progressing. There were a number of design elements that
required great deliberation regarding their workability and
practicality, all of which was dealt with in-house.
THE SOLUTION
Any missing information or clashes with design details
from the original architect’s drawings that arose were
overcome using local designers and engineers. We
deployed our local team of tradesmen to undertake the
various packages and stages of the build, working to our
internal programme. The house was delivered to the client
as agreed and on time.
Carrot Hill is an overwhelming success, both
architecturally and in terms of construction, and the clients
couldn’t be happier with their new home. It’s due to be
entered into the building awards early next year.
