GREAT HOUSE FARMSustainable community housing in St Fagans, Cardiff

Taking place on the beautiful land of StFaggans, Cardiff, this project achieved 2years ago is the perfect example of whatcan be achieved in the residential sectorusing available technology, goodcollaboration, and the support of anenlightened client.

The success of this project, whichbrought several distinctions to thepractice including the ConstructionExcellence in Wales Award, wasachieved by the architects' use of BIM toestablish and maintain control ofinformation.

Everything in this project is aboutcommunity, from the way it has beendesigned, built and now used by the peopleliving there. Even though the juxtaposition ofapartments could be described as quiteusual, the shared garden and the pondwhere all eyes are turned onto brings asignificant gain to the project in terms ofwildlife and socialisation between thetenants.

Great House Farme Phase 3 is now on itsway for planning permission, which will allowto the architects to carry on developing thiseco-friendly architectural scheme.

Great House Farm is a relatively small speculative residentialdevelopment of nine mixed dwellings and apartments. It is the powerof design that has driven this project. The architects and the clientsshared the same conviction for a sustainable scheme, addressing thecompliance issues around the conversion of a grade II Listedbuildings as well as associated landscaping, garaging, and externalworks. Along with the contractor and supply chain the scheme arosefrom a bold idea into an inspiring housing development that haslessons for all sectors.

Built to a minimum of Code 4, the key concept was the fabric firstapproach, which resulted in an extremely efficient envelope usingstandard components. Attention to detail in construction enabled avirtually airtight construction.

'The holistic approach taken at design stage isground-breaking, and this is when key decisions,that have the most impact on the sustainability ofthe project, are made.

NEW MODERN HOUSECode 4 dwelling

This single dwelling for a private client wasgranted planning permission on the condition thatit achieved a minimum Code 4 level under theCode for Sustainable Homes.

The dwelling is designed to maximize the benefitsof solar radiation and take advantage of theextensive views over the Vale of Glamorgan.

The design is simple, economical, and functional,yet provides great flexibility for the clients to liveon one or two levels and up to three heatingzones, allowing them to close down guestbedrooms when living alone.

This dwelling continues the development of theenergy strategy implemented in the previousexample: heating and cooling using a heat pumpcoupled to a borehole. The 'fabric first' strategyminimises the heat required and the low gradeenergy recovered is distributed throughout thehouse at a temperature less than 35oC even onthe coldest day.

The use of rainwater harvesting, solar thermalDHW and whole house ventilation is included aspart of our standard sustainability kit.

This new dwelling has been described as anexemplar sustainable development proposal bythe Vale of Glamorgan Planning Department.

With its extensive terracing and built on the site ofan old tennis court, the design makes the most ofexcellent south facing views with generous openplan spaces linking right through the buildingtowards floor to ceiling glass doors that frame therolling countryside beyond.

Designed for a couple approaching retirement thishouse will provide luxury and comfort in a robustdwelling based on high quality construction,materials and sustainable technologies

CONTEMPORARY BARNExtension to existing dwelling

This client's property, in the heart of rural Herefordshire,required a very sensitive design solution to satisfy thestrict local planning constraints.

After several researches on the local vernacular, it wasfelt that the most suitable response was a new timberframed barn structure, fitted out internally as livingaccommodation.

A major feature of the design is electrically operatedopenable glazing, allowing views onto the extensivegardens. On the upper level, a library protected byglazed handrails allows the sunlight to go through thedining space which makes the most of its double height,revealing the airy design wanted by the architects.

VICTORIAN TERRACE REWORKExtension and courtyard design

Victorian Terrace, Llanfair Road, Cardiff

This project involved a radical makeover of a traditionalterraced house owned by Alan Gillard and his wife Claire,an accomplished interior designer. With a modest budgetand working alongside Sunrise Interiors, the kitchen hasbeen opened up to the garden - which has also beentransformed into another room.

The result tends to bring a little bit of Mediterraneanatmosphere to South Wales combining vegetation andclever use of timber in the garden for entertaining andrelaxing, as well as minimalist interiors flooded with lightand sunshine... at least when it is not raining!

Clients of Gillard Associates can all benefit from thesynergy and creative energy which comes from theGillards' successful design partnership.

BEACH HOUSENew sustainable dwelling in Porthcawl

Originally occupied by a detached dwellingwhich did not have sufficient relevance to bepreserved, Gillard Associates were asked todesign a highly sustainable dwelling on theprivileged site of Newton, a rural suburbanvillage near Porthcawl.

Located on a site of 900 m2 with a very subtledrop from east to south, the prominent positionof the proposed building gives a status oflandmark. The character of the location isanything but homogeneous; rather, a collectionof random styles of dwellings which has grownup sporadically over the last five decades.

The proposed design responds to the views.The applicants living quarters are located onthe third storey to provide them with the most

extensive views. The first floor is given over toguests rooms and a separate living area. Thetwo floors are connected by means of alightwell by the staircase. The entire groundfloor is given over to utility rooms, a swimmingpool and gym, with entrance and receptiongenerous enough to provide space forentertaining.

The south elevation looks modern and is mainlyglazed to take advantage of the views towardsthe bay. Sharp shaped balconies will enable theoccupants to enjoy the views and outdoorquality of life. The simple horizontality of thestructure and the minimalist palette of materialscreates a beautifully understated contemporarybuilding in harmony with its context.

Gillard Associates were asked toremodel the campus' studentresidential facilities. Our proposalwas to consider refurbishmentrather than replacement. Thisapproach offered three realadvantages.

Firstly, cost - it was estimatedthat 1/2M was saved from theoverall build budget.Secondly, time - the contract wassubstantially completed over asummer vacation, which reducedeven more the costs to theschool of finding alternativeaccommodation for the students.Finally, emissions - retaining theconcrete shell saved a significantamount of CO2 emitted becausethe embodied energy wasretained rather than discarded.

This eco-refurb also allowed thecollege to replace the outdatedoil fired heating system withground source heat pump andwholehouse ventilation system

ATLANTIC COLLEGELow energy students house refurbishment

from Zehnder who used thescheme as a UK pilot project.

The key to designing energyefficient buildings is accuratethermal modelling early in thedesign process. Theenvironmental software we useallows us to build quick virtualmodels and test them usingrealistic weather data.After having modelled thebuildings and as far as possiblereplicated site conditions, werealised we were able toincrease the building's thermalefficiency by up to 90%.

The finished student house isnow being monitored by UWIC tosee just what economies can bemade. Savings in the region of7500 pa for all three buildingswere forecast by theenvironmental software, reducingheat loads from around 70kW to12kW during the coldestpredicted temperatures.

LOW ENERGY HOUSENew Code 5 Dwelling, Dyffryn

Gillard Associates have carried out a lotof research into low energy houses,particularly in continental Europe. Makingsure of the supply chain for all the variouscomponents and systems was achallenge, but this project , constructedunder our direct management, hasachieved an outstanding ambition for theclients who wanted a zero energydwelling.

The clean and simple layout uses theminimum of material, and takesadvantage of views and solar radiation.The building envelope is well insulatedusing SIPS panels and triple glazedwindows. SIPS also provides good airtightness, to further increase energyefficiency. Fresh air at ambienttemperatures is provided by a wholehouse system with heat recovery, and theresulting heat loads are very low lessthan 4 kW on the predicted coldest day.

Heating is provided by a ground sourceheat pump, which also allows low energycooling when connected to a dew pointsensor, to compensate for low thermalmass in the construction.

The roof is fitted with an array ofphotvoltaic cells which makes the buildingalmost carbon neutral. The owners arereporting a net profit well into four figuresannually.

Domestic hot water demand is providedby the heat pump in winter but backed upby a solar thermal system in summer. Arainwater harvesting system is alsospecified, providing filtered water to wcsand for garden use.

The basis of the house is sellingrenewable energy to the national grid.This has been done via theenvironmental software used by thepractice. The best solar exposition hasbeen determined and predictions aboutenergy consumption have been made,results which were not only validated butexceeded by our clients once theysettled in.

THE QUAYPADFloating office

Quaypad is a concept which has comeof age. We live in a rapidly changingworld which makes increasingly stressfuldemands on us, and our environment.Climate change is leading to more floodprone areas. Suddenly, the idea ofaccommodation which floats, and whichcan provide a simple and robust solutionto our need for comfortable work andliving space, makes a lot of sense.Quaypad can meet your requirement forstylish and flexible space solutions whichtake advantage of the one remainingunder used resource waterspace.

Many cities have areas of water which areunder used and very often right in thecentre. Imagine having access to anoffice, studio, or waterside pad, and thepossibilities this can offer...

It doesnt stop at work and living space.The use of Quaypads is limited only byyour imagination and, however it wasoriginally conceived as a floating office,the design is very flexible and can easilybe configured into a variety of otheroptions (hotels, studio flat, cafe, riversidelounge, coastguard vessel...)

Quaypads can be designed to providethermal comfort in virtually any climate our suppliers can provide heating and airconditioning solutions for vessels destinedfor Scandinavia and the Persian Gulf. Thelist of equipment can also include solar pvcells and generators allowing the units tobe located away from power supply. In factvirtually every possibility has beenconsidered by our designers whospecialise in micro living solutions.

Eden Gate are a charity based in Newportcommitted to addressing the problem ofhomelessness in an innovative way. GillardAssociates have been doing their bit to help realisetheir vision for an architectural solution based onshipping containers.

The key concept of this project is to proposehouses made from shipping containers that canaccommodate the homeless. Land that mightotherwise lie idle for five years will be brought backinto life and used to provide much-neededtemporary accommodation. When the site comes to

EDENGATEShipping container flats

be redeveloped, the containers can be transferredto other locations. Inside the containers aretransformed into self-contained studio flats, andfeature bathrooms, kitchen/lounge area andinsulated walls. Shipping-container homes havebeen used elsewhere, including in London, and areseen as a significantly cheaper housing option thanbricks and mortar.

The charity was searching for a partnership,allowing Gillard Associates to offer time in trainingwhilst helping people and giving the trainees theopportunity to access experience in return.

FAMILY HOUSES5 dwellings on top of the hill

This site is a large residential propertycomprising a large Edwardian familyhouse, an adjacent annexe overgaraging, and gardens on different levels.

Gillard Associates were invited to putforward a design for consideration. Aftertesting the detailed BIM model it wasfound that the site could comfortablyaccommodate 5 new dwellings arrangedaround a central area of protected trees.

It is important that, spatially, eachdwelling can breathe, to allow views outof the site, allow sunlight into amenityspaces, and allow buffer zones to thetrees in and around the site.

This is also in keeping with buildingdensities in the neighbourhood generally,

and will allow each property to enjoy agood quality of life, and allow thedeveloper to market the dwellings asupmarket family houses and ensure thebest return on this valuable piece of realestate.

The general arrangement can be seenas a family of family houses, eachreinforcing the other in terms of identityso that the development is seen as anintegrated whole, linked by stone wallsand a common circulation area. Thisconcept will ensure that the occupantswill feel part of a small community, withconsequential benefits for communitysafety.

The Coppice, Dinas Powys

House Type B (Unit 1)

Description

The replacement main dwelling occupies a similar position to the

existing house although the footprint is slightly smaller.

The building volume rises up with a series of enclosing roofs to

provide interest on the north elevation, or entrance side. The

dwelling is accessed from the same level as the existing dwelling,

but the accommodation is designed to step down the site in split

levels, to respond to the topography and take advantage of the

open views, and reduce the amount of deadwork and allow for a

cellar (technical room).

The dwelling benefits from a large area of garden on the south side

of the access drive, and an open south facing courtyard provides a

link to this amenity from the main living rooms.

This project takes place at the former Post OfficeSorting Office, Llanmaes Road, Llantwit Major, andaccessed off Station Road. The site lies at the end of a45m long single track drive and originally consisted ofthe single storey former office building and a coveredbike shed. Its remainder is in the form of a largeconcrete hardstanding and grassed area to the rear.

Gillard Associates have been granted permission for a3-storey residential flat development with 17 units andincludes the provision of 12 car parking spaces alongthe access road.

Surrounded by a mixture of uses consisting of variouscommercial and residential buildings, this new housingproject reacts to its site alongside a railway line byshielding communal amenity areas from noise with thebuilding.

Always following the "first envelope" approach, thisbuilding itself will use air tight construction and a heatrecovery ventilation system to give a high degree ofacoustic separation and sustainability. It does this byextracting warm stale air and transferring the heat tocold fresh air without the two mixing. This keeps theinternal air fresh without opening windows whichsignificantly reduces heat loss from ventilation anddraughts as well as annoyance from noise.

Work on site began in 2015 and is still in progress.
