The Malthouse Consultancy were instrumental in the design solutions for the structure, thermal mass, heating, cooling and ventilating this highly efficient new build family home.

Work undertaken:

Flint Barn was a bespoke new build home with a brief to make it as energy efficient as possible. The final product is a unique and stunning architectural design which includes huge 5m high all glass sliding doors and a double height atrium.

The construction solution Malthouse recommended was a Velox ICF system which has many benefits including very good insulation, great structural strength and high thermal mass.

The technology solutions include a Ground Source Heat Pump using 4 x 120m bore holes and a combination of underfloor heating and invisible air conditioning to provide comfort cooling.

The result is a house with incredibly low running costs and consistently high internal air quality and well controlled thermal conditions.

A home built truly for long-term enjoyment.
