NC Homes.Architects Goes Underground - Again!

Given the success of Perdu and Nessecliffe, NC Homes.Architects have been retained to design two further underground, eco and sustainable homes.  One is just outside London, the other, coincidentally, is also in Shropshire.  These will test the Practices abilities given the Green Belt, Open Countryside and SSSI challenges that each site benefits from!

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.
