Brunt House
About This Home
The Brunt House is a mountain-style home designed for hillside sites, with a stepped design that follows the natural terrain across multiple levels rather than fighting against it. At just over 295 m², it is a large home, and the stepped configuration creates genuinely varied internal spaces rather than a single uniform floor plan.
The construction uses ecological timber frame with a mix of timber cladding and natural stone, referencing the materials palette of the upland settings it is designed for. Advanced energy features include an air source heat pump, underfloor heating, and optional photovoltaic panels connected to a Tesla Power Wall. Baufritz's patented wood shaving insulation and triple glazing complete the thermal envelope. A decentralised mechanical ventilation system and allergen-free materials are standard.
For buyers with hillside plots, the Brunt House is one of the most site-specific designs in the Baufritz range. The stepped design is a genuine architectural response to sloping terrain, not an aesthetic treatment applied to a flat-plan home.
What We Love
The Brunt House is one of the most site-specific designs in the Baufritz catalogue. The stepped plan follows the hillside rather than sitting on top of it, and the optional photovoltaic and Tesla Power Wall combination is one of the most complete renewable energy packages in the range.
