Challenge
A forward-thinking build rooted in the past
When experienced self-builders Richard and Jo Collings, set out to replace an old 1960s bungalow in rural Warwickshire with a modern four-bedroom home, they knew looks would be important. Not only was the site located within a conservation zone, but it was also situated next to a sensitively restored Norman Church. Therefore, it was vital that the materials they chose complemented the historical feel of the area and concealed the more modern aspects of their plans, such as a heat-recovery system.
