If you’re looking for inspiration for your next housebuilding project, you may want to take a closer look at this development…


The project

Perched on an elevated plane above the tranquil Suffolk village of Rattlesden, Rising Sun Hill was already winning in terms of location. But housebuilders Hartog Hutton wanted to elevate this space further with bespoke homes that blended in with the environment while also boasting a bit of character.

The 22 homes are therefore individually conceptualised and feature finishes that draw on traditional materials and designs, such as weatherboarding and rendering.

But this careful attention to detail hasn’t just been dedicated to aesthetics. Consideration has also been given to the homes’ long-term sustainability, with each home being fitted with an air source heat pump and well-designed insulation.

This quality and carbon consciousness has also extended to the materials used in the build.

In the ground…

For all below-ground work and structural foundations, Hartog Hutton used Lignacite’s Lignacrete blocks in both 100m and 140mm sizes. Ideal for high-strength applications, these robust blocks are perfectly suited for structural work.

In the floors…

For the block and beam floors, 100mm Lignacite Ash GP blocks were used. Strong and robust, these blocks also contributed to the high insulation levels due to their thermal resistance of 0.212m2K/W. Very handy for meeting the latest requirements laid out in the Building Regulations’ Approved Document L.

The finishing touches…

Lignacite’s Fibo 850/950 blocks have also made their way to the development. These blocks are ideal for boosting a building’s thermal insulation while also providing an excellent surface for renders and other finishes. Light in weight, they can also be put into place one-handed for quick and efficient construction.

A quality blockwork solution

With Lignacite blocks providing a quality structure, the Rising Hill development looks set to achieve its aims for quality and character, from the fabric to the finish.
