New Classical Country Homes

aaa

Incorporating Space & Light

The use of space and light in Georgian architecture is unparalleled. Georgian homes feature large windows to allow natural light to illuminate the space and provide a beautiful view of the outdoors. Low window sills and French doors ensure that even when seated, the occupants can enjoy a view of the garden.

Modern Georgian-style homes, however, offer the opportunity to create fewer larger rooms to optimise for the modern family's need for social interaction, entertaining and adaptability. This combination of space and light creates an inviting atmosphere that is both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

Timeless & Sustainable Architecture

By using modern construction techniques such as modern insulation, air tightness, well performing glazing and sustainable materials, New Classical homes can reduce the amount of energy used for heating and cooling, create more comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce carbon emissions.

The principles of sustainability are also embedded in the very bones of the houses we design. Carefully designed and constructed Classical homes can withstand the test of time with minimal maintenance, which reduces the need for energy intensive repairs and renovations.
​
Incorporating all of these principles into the design and build of a new Georgian home can result in a classic style home that is both beautiful and sustainable. This ensures that the benefits of classic Georgian architecture can be enjoyed for many years to come.
