We love to do things differently and the Old Water Tower offered a great opportunity to do so. The project team worked highly collaboratively with an ‘open book’ approach to pricing. Here, contractors agree on costs and margin at the start. It worked to everyone’s advantage as the project was an experiment to test Passivhaus in a development context.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The site previously housed a utilities building, which was demolished to build The Old Water Tower.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was a small plot at the end of a short lane and was positioned behind a row of houses, so the design had to rise to meet these challenges.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The end result was a perfectly formed certified Passivhaus designed to echo the local vernacular by hinting at barns and other farm buildings.
