PAD Studio have designed a house located in the New Forest National Park, United Kingdom.The replacement dwelling is set within an 18.5 acre plot, located adjacent to ancient woodland and heath, within the New Forest National Park. The massing, form and orientation of the new building has been carefully conceived in order that the proposals minimize the impact on the site and its surroundings. The main dwelling and annexe building both have low rise green roofs.The buildings are orientated to maximize solar gain and utilize ground source heat pump technology and a log boiler for heating and hot water requirements. Excavated material from the new basement and pool area has been re-used in the earth perming to provide a visual screen to the north and help to reduce the sound impact of the nearby dual carriageway.

The proposals also incorporate rain water harvesting, grey water recycling and a natural swimming pond to further increase biodiversity within the site. The materials used throughout are sustainable, durable and in harmony with the site and its surroundings.
