Self build isn’t just about building a house – it’s about realising a long-held vision. At VELFAC, we know self builders want outstanding design, exceptional energy performance and a connection to the landscape. Our latest case study from Timbers in Woolverstone, Suffolk illustrates how that dream can become reality.
From Vision to Reality
Anna and Edward had a clear brief: a forever home that was bright, adaptable, and connected to its stunning natural setting – especially an ancient oak tree that anchors the site. Working with architect Juliet Moore, their design delivers light-filled spaces and effortless indoor-outdoor connections.
Why VELFAC Was Specified
Their design required glazed openings that were nothing short of transformative – combining:
- Triple-glazed thermal performance for comfort and efficiency
- Slim sightlines to maximise daylight and uninterrupted views
- Cost-effective solutions that support sustainability goals
- High-performance glazing to help the home achieve an A EPC rating
VELFAC V200 Energy windows and a VELFAC Ribo glazed front door were specified to meet these goals – delivering both performance and architectural impact.
