Underground House in Epsom

Following the tremendous success that the Practice has enjoyed in obtaining previous Consents for underground and earth sheltered accommodation in Bowdon and Shropshire, NC Architecture is delighted that a commission for another underground dwelling for private clients in Epsom, outside London, has gone live.

Adjacent a SSSI and in open countryside, this replacement dwelling will offer accommodation of approx. 350sqm in a unique courtyard style, with enclosed courtyard and minimalist interior design, all for an end-user family to occupy and enjoy.

Planning likely Summer 2016. Start on site Spring 2017. Contract Value £750,000.

Eco House - Nessecliffe

We are delighted to announce that NC Home have just obtained Full Planning Consent from Shropshire County Council for their Earth Sheltered Eco home in Nessecliffe, subject to a S106 for affordable contributions.  The Consent highlights the tremendous thought given over the design of this unique home for private clients.  Set within a fully rural setting and adjacent to an Ancient Monument, the scheme was so strongly supported by English Heritage and the Council Officers, the consent was delegated!

This decision has emboldened the Practice to try and expand their projects within this incredibly unique form of architecture.  Following on from the previous consent obtained for an underground dwelling within a Conservation Area in Bowdon, Cheshire (Perdu) the Practice hopes that this success will attract further clients who feel they have “no chance”, but with NC Homes' help and expertise, the “dream can become a reality”!

 

Special mention must go to James Bell, Project Architect, for leading the Team to such success.
