Designed to enhance an ordinary suburban garden this summerhouse is used in all seasons. Facing South is a Tuscan portico made of green oak and designed to allow the maximum solar gain from the low winter sun, but to provide shading from the high summer sun.
These passive controls are augmented by underfloor heating which effectively utilises the building’s thermal mass.
