Wyvern House featured on More4

We are very excited that one of our projects has featured on the new More4 programme ‘Huge Homes with Hugh Dennis’.

Wyvern House was explored in Episode 3 on 15 September.

In the programme, Hugh Dennis visits some of the largest properties throughout the UK, explores the history of how they were built and meets the present owners to find out what it’s like to live in one of these extraordinary properties.

Wyvern House was completed at the end of 2020 and is a strikingly bold family home. The house was built on the disused tennis courts of the owners’ former home and is in complete contrast to the Grade II Listed Arts and Crafts property they left.

Wyvern House is featured in Concrete Magazine

Wyvern House has been featured in the July issue of Concrete magazine.

The Concrete Society encourages the exchange of knowledge and innovation across all disciplines and promotes excellence in design, construction, appearance and performance.

Wyvern House’s design had several site constraints which limited its size and shape as well as construction methods. The exceptional quality of this completed home was made possible by using a concrete frame with a central circular zinc core. Concrete detailing has become a main design feature throughout the building, specifically to the three storey staircase where the visible concrete is honed and then polished and sealed to give a beautiful low-sheen finish.

Planning permission granted for Wyvern House

We are delighted to be working with Clear Architects on a new build in Loughton.

The proposal for a new modern home on an old tennis court, adjacent to a Grade II listed property, was given permission by Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) in December 2015.

District Development Councillors hailed the design as “legacy architecture” for the local area. In an 11-1 approval vote last week (2 December 2015), several committee councillors commented during the planning committee meeting that the concept represents “stunning architecture that Loughton can be proud of”.
