Prospect House is a great example of contemporary design that seamlessly blends the modern ideals of energy efficiency and open-plan living. Designed by architects Dow Jones, the outer of the property – which overlooks the city of Bath – is covered in dark VMZINC, a low-maintenance recyclable cladding material that gives an attractive appearance.
The interior makes use of high ceilings and large glazed panels and doors to maximise natural light and offer stunning views of the Roman city below. Sliding doors between rooms offer the owners a way to change the size of the interior spaces dynamically, while all living areas are floored in solid American white oak to enhance the open, airy appearance.
Energy for hot water is provided by Shuco solar thermal panels, and Rehau under-floor heating provides energy-efficient warmth throughout the home. Rounding out the property’s eco-friendly credentials is the exterior, which features a hardwood sun deck, a rainwater collection tank and triple recycling bin store. Currently available through Savills.
