When London architects Hackett Holland restored a 19th century farmhouse in North Wales, they took a sustainable, modern approach. But did we mention that there is no electricity (it’s pending)?<\/p>\n

Jane Hackett and Jonathan Holland have set their sights on achieving global sustainability; the design partners believe that the architecture of the future must be responsive to its surrounding environment. Holland, an alumnus of the Prince of Wales Institute and a frequent collaborator with the Princes Foundation for the Built Environment, eschews the \u201cfashionable late 20th-century notion of architecture as objects in space.\u201d With this farmhouse and its surrounding outbuildings, which they have restored close to their original state, the architects have created a considered response that is functional, practical, and formed through the use of good quality sustainable materials\u2014this is what modern means to them.<\/p>\n

N.B.: We’ve been told that electricity is on its way; once a renewable source is found.<\/p>\n

Above: Built in 1805, abandoned in 1948, and vacant for 40 years, the farmhouse and outbuildings were restored; the roof was recovered in thick local Welsh slate.<\/p>\n
