Minery House

Situated overlooking the Chew Valley, The existing property, Minery House has been radically reimagined and retrofitted. The modernisation of the property has turned the building back into one house, flipping the traditional uses of ground and first floors to take advantage of its stunning setting, whilst adapting the layout to make the whole building more accessible. Together with the client we have developed a full retrofit scheme featuring improved thermal performance, airtightness and the installation of sustainable energy generation systems, such as MVHR, ASHP and a Solar roof. Natural materials have been a key part of the improvements with wood fibre insulation and lime based products being used to improve the floors, walls and roof. Hawkland Architects have worked closely with specialist contractors to also deliver the project and coordinate these works. Completion is expected early 2026.
