Hendy // Flintshire

Nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant countryside of Flintshire, our replacement dwelling project epitomizes the perfect blend of traditional elegance and modern sophistication. Featuring a slate roof, expansive glazed windows and gables, and distinctive stone features, this architectural gem pays homage to the timeless charm of rural Wales while embracing sustainable design principles and cutting-edge technology.

Vernacular Materiality

A hallmark of Welsh architectural heritage, the slate roof of our replacement dwelling adds a touch of rustic charm and enduring beauty to the landscape of Flintshire. Meticulously crafted from locally sourced slate, the roof not only complements the natural surroundings but also provides superior durability and weather resistance, ensuring long-lasting protection for generations to come.

Paying homage to the rich architectural heritage of Flintshire, our replacement dwelling incorporates distinctive stone features that evoke a sense of timelessness and authenticity. From rustic stone walls to finely crafted masonry details, these elements add texture, character, and warmth to the exterior façade, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.

Contemporary Sensibility

Drawing inspiration from the panoramic vistas of Flintshire's countryside, our replacement dwelling features large glazed windows and gables that capture the beauty of the surrounding landscape and flood the interiors with natural light. These expansive openings serve as visual anchors, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces and creating a sense of connection to nature throughout the home.

Sustainable Design 

In addition to preserving the architectural heritage of Flintshire, our replacement dwelling project embraces sustainable design principles to minimize environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency. From passive solar design strategies to the integration of renewable energy systems, every aspect of the design is carefully considered to promote sustainability, resilience, and long-term viability.

On a technical level, Hendy has put sustainability at its core. Employing a modern method of construction by utilising structural insulated panels (SIPS) and a whole house heat recovery system, the design promotes energy autonomy and intends to have minimal operation energy cost. By getting passive design right, adhering to strong principles and employing the most efficacious technology, it is anticipated that Hendy will be light on bills and low on environmental impact.

Securing planning approval for our replacement dwelling project in Flintshire was a collaborative effort that involved close coordination with local planning authorities, conservation experts, and community stakeholders. Through extensive consultation, thorough site analysis, and meticulous design refinement, we were able to address concerns, mitigate impacts, and demonstrate the project's compatibility with local planning policies and conservation objectives.

As we celebrate the attainment of planning approval for our replacement dwelling project in Flintshire, we look forward to realizing our vision of timeless elegance, modern comfort, and sustainable living in one of Wales' most picturesque counties. With a slate roof, large glazed windows and gables, and distinctive stone features, our replacement dwelling promises to be a beacon of architectural excellence and community pride in Flintshire for generations to come.
