Designed by London-based architecture firm Alma-nac, the property, which is called the Split House, replaces a 1950’s bungalow and run-down barn in the village of Fairlight, on the southern coast of England. The owners wanted to create a highly sustainable home which took advantage of its hilltop location. As a result, architect firm Alma-nac designed the property to extend out in three different directions, providing stunning views of the sea and nearby Dungeness headland. The architects specified Accoya to construct the external windows, window reveals and doors for the stylish property. 38 Accoya fixed and opening windows were installed, as well as 22 glazed door leafs. The doors and windows will require little maintenance over their lifetime due to the process in which the wood is made. The acetylation process, which is used to toughen the wood, delivers outstanding levels of performance, stability and durability. Caspar Rodgers from Alma-nac commented: “We chose Accoya because we wanted to build using eco-friendly materials that could withstand the variable weather conditions that are characteristic of England’s southern coast. Accoya is well-respected within the industry as a highly sustainable product that has high levels of durability and stability so we knew it would be the ideal material for the job.”

This project helped stabilize the driveway and provided safe and easy back yard access.

This classic estate sits on over 30 acres of land. Fairfield House & Garden managed all the site work, hardscape, and plantings. As you travel up the long, curved driveway you approach the limestone-enclosed cobblestone parking courtyard complete with granite paver inlays. This grand courtyard allowed for the placement of Specimen Columnar Purple Beech Trees as well as Hydrangea, Roses, Boxwoods and Holly. The back of the home consists of two formal sod panel lawns with perimeters of white marble stabilized gravel paths. Adjacent to the timeless Japanese Maple tree is a 70ft formal fountain. Continuing down the stunning stone staircase that is surrounded by lush plantings, you are led to a sprawling great lawn.

This backyard paradise began with a muddy site, with all the grading sloping directly to the proposed poolside patio. The design for this outdoor living area would need to incorporate many challenges: * The grading issues would be corrected with retaining walls, which would create a warm yet expansive area and provide additional seating. * The pillars would require careful notching to insert the hardware for the pool gate. * The patio would need to incorporate stormwater storage underneath. * The edge of the poolside patio would require stabilization to prevent future settlement adjacent to the concrete pool deck.
