Our client purchased a small vacant tennis court plot on Langbar Road in Ilkley with a view to creating a stunning contemporary family home.

The secluded yet compact setting flows from the main street facing the aspect back into the narrow site, with carefully arranged building mass and linked corridors allowing for protected tree roots to remain undisturbed.  This creates open views and generosity of space and light to both internal and external spaces.

Now complete, the stunning Ilkley dwelling enhances the location considerably and provides a living space full of fine crafted detail.

It has been built on five levels using a steel frame with chestnut cladding and a sedum living roof. It also features a lift, 6m deep cellar, a home cinema, gym and Brise Soleil shading system.

Winner of the New Build award, presented by the Ilkley Civic Society, Design & Conservation Awards 2024.
