Gareth Crooks , Senior Architectural Technician from 2020 Architects , adds : “ Incorporating the Keylite roof window within the design was not only to allow for additional light to access the open plan kitchen / dining / living area , but also to help ventilate the large open plan space from potential solar gains due to the large gable window and two sets of sliding doors .
“ When it reached the technical stage , the homeowners wanted to incorporate further automation , so we agreed that Keylite roof windows were the way forward with the introduction Keylite premium electric kit which was further linked into the automation by Epitome Living .”
The property ’ s structure is split into two buildings . Looking towards the house from the front , the left side is a vaulted single storey barn that contains an open plan area with a small utility room and pantry behind , and an integrated double garage beyond that .
Although a contemporary home , the stone walls reflect many of the agricultural buildings that surround the area , with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the beautiful County Down countryside .
While inside boasts three bedrooms , high and vaulted ceilings , concrete stairs , solid floors and walls , as well as low maintenance finishes , on the outside a roof mounted photovoltaic ( PV ) solar system will be installed later this year to generate electricity from the sun .
