Paragraph 84 (Para 84)

The Glades

Nestled within an arboretum adjacent to an existing farmstead in rural South Norfolk, this new Paragraph 84 dwelling curates experiences which celebrate the various types of trees on the site.

New Build

An inspirational, Sustainable, Energy Efficient Family Home

Set within an arboretum, this exceptional new Paragraph 84 (Para 84) dwelling is designed to take advantage of the natural clearings to minimise the removal of trees. The butterfly plan is aligned to key axes within respond to the glades & trees. The roof form rises and falls in response to the surroundings.

Intimate experiences are curated between the dweller and the trees, giving experiences which focus on the verticality of a tree trunk to sweeping views within a tree canopy and views across woodland glades.

The scheme is currently in planning with South Norfolk Council who have been closely involved with the schemes development in collaboration with their in house design adviser.
