Farfield – VELFAC V200E

Featuring on both the front cover of the August 2024 issue of Self Builder and Homemaker Magazine and in the March 2023 issue of  Grand Designs magazine, Farfield is a contemporary transformation of a dated, 1960’s bungalow.

Designed by Paul Cashin Architects and built by Westcott Construction, this breath-taking project is situated in South Downs National Park.

The Farfield House project has completely transformed an existing 1960’s bungalow. By extending and redeveloping the original building it has been possible to create an architecturally stunning four bedroom modern home, totally unrecognisable from the original.

Paul Cashin says “Through careful analysis, it was possible to reuse the building, making alternations to the structure which has totally reimagined it, whilst also offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution for this build project. ”

The existing gabled roof was removed from the house and adjacent garage and replaced with a striking flat roof across the entire dwelling. By upgrading the glazing to the VELFAC 200E system, the slim frame enhances the amount of natural light into the home and expands the surrounding views of the National Park. A VELFAC RIBO entrance door was chosen for its’ cotemporary style and high performance features. When paired with VELFAC windows, they create a uniform aesthetic.

Additional space was created through a partial first floor extension. To take advantage of the views available, the living space and a generous open planned kitchen have been located upstairs, with all sleeping accommodation on the ground floor. To minimise the effects of solar gain in warmer months a Brise Soliel is placed over the large, south facing windows on the first floor.
