Sirius New Build
MODERN VILLA STYLE NEW BUILD HOME
A secluded plot on the site of an old tennis court in Ilkley was the setting for this beautifully designed modern villa-style home. The generous 6,600 sq ft living accommodation is split over five levels to utilise the full extent of the plot. An upside-down layout enables the upper-level living space to take advantage of stunning views, with the five bedrooms on the lower levels enjoying the privacy of the tranquil garden areas.
The works began with a 6.5 metre excavation to form the basement of the property. The steel frame of the building was detailed, fabricated and erected by our in-house steel fabrication team, enabling us to keep control of this vital part of the build, with the exterior of the property finished in western red cedar, locally sourced ashlar stone and an environmentally friendly sedum roof.
The abundance of glazing in the property gives a light and airy feel, including a full-height glass-to-glass corner window in the lounge area. The flush-threshold wraparound sliding door to the kitchen provides a seamless link to the outdoor dining area. In key areas of the building, carefully selected solar shading systems were needed, including adjustable elliptical louvres, sliding louvred screens and brise soleil, all finished in western red cedar, providing shade from the summer sun and privacy where needed.
There are two balconies to the property, cladded with standing seam powder-coated aluminium and fitted with glass balustrading.
The interior of the home features polished concrete floors, solid walnut flooring, complementary walnut doors, American Black walnut staircases and feature walls in concrete shutter board tiles. The luxury bathrooms contain one-off fittings and large format tiles. The walnut wood theme continues into the kitchen with a bespoke fitted kitchen complete with Dekton worktops and smoked mirror splashbacks.
Outside, Japanese-style terraced garden areas were created, with black limestone flags and western red cedar boarding to match the cladding on the building.
