Inspired by the courtyard at Tatton Park in Knutsford, this impressive SIPs home emulates the character and charm of a courtyard property but with a contemporary twist for a modern lifestyle.
The brief was to build a modern dwelling that would provide inside/outside living, was energy efficient, speedy to build and filled with natural light. It also needed to provide privacy and security. Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) were the perfect solution.
With 300m2 of liveable space, the impressive 3 bedroom, single storey home is built from 142mm Kingspan TEK SIPs System and set in two thirds of an acre of land. The house is made up of a series of rooms set around an inner courtyard and linked by glazed walkways that flood the home with daylight.
SIPs designed, fabricated and installed by SIPS@Clays, the majority of the rooms are double height, which is another of the many benefits of building with SIPs. As SIPs are structural and supported by Glulam beams, roof trusses were not required, so interesting details like this, were easily incorporated into the design.
