St. George’s Hill, SUNKEN GUEST house

This 9,000 sq ft new build sunken house is part of a larger private estate masterplan (totalling 25,000 sq ft) we are delivering, including the complete relandscaping of a 2.5 acre plot within the St. George’s Hill private estate, in Weybridge.

The guest house extends over three floors with over half the height sunken into the ground which, along with its enveloping U shape, creates a cosy and intimate environment and a strong link to the surrounding woodland landscape.

The living spaces are all connected to the private enclosed courtyard and the first floor offers views towards the Surrey hills to the south. The scheme also includes a separate private office space, overlooking a secluded Koi pond with the Surrey hills in the distance.

The elegant highly insulated structure is being built using recycled or natural materials where possible along with a Ground Source Heat Pump and Photovoltaic Panels, to achieve near Passive House credentials.

We are working in collaboration with Rosebank, APS and KFB Interiors on this exciting project. The scheme received planning consent in a single application and we are currently working on the detailed design, in order to go onsite later in the year.
