Introducing The Outland: our newest sustainable holiday home design

Silverlake, Dorset is proud to introduce a new sustainable holiday home design, The Outland: a stylish, avant-garde holiday home design built with sustainability in mind.

 

The design

 

Created by luxury cabin company Shack, The Outland’s pitched roof design, made from timber, steel, and glass, is reminiscent of a chic Scandinavian lodge and draws inspiration from Swedish and Norwegian architectural styles as well as modern cabins found in California, New England, and Canada.

Its timber build is the perfect complement to the surrounds of the Silverlake Estate, which is home to tranquil lakes, peaceful nature trails and acres of protected nature reserve,. Those who purchase The Outland can choose from one of three timber cladding materials: Thermowood Redwood, Western Red Cedar or Accoya. Accoya timber cladding is available at an extra cost, but benefits from the choice of over 40 colour treatment options. Each timber has been chosen due to its durability, with 10-to-50-year warranties available.

One of The Outland’s stand-out features is the stunning glass front. Stretching from floor to ceiling across both floors, the glass frontage offers owners and guests the opportunity to bask in uninterrupted views of the Dorset Estate without leaving their holiday home.

 

 

Buyers can choose from two different configurations of The Outland, starting from £675,000:

  • • The 3-bed, 3-bath Outland (115.5m2)
  • • The 4-bed, 4-bath Outland (138.5m2)

 

Sustainability

 

As with all of Silverlake’s luxury lodges for sale in Dorset, The Outland is an eco-conscious design that is kind to the planet. Not only is it crafted from sustainable materials, but it also surpasses the requirements of the new Part L building regulations, which mandate that new homes must produce lower levels of carbon emissions by 40%.

As standard, The Outland comes with an air source heat pump, as well as an MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery) system with cooling module and UV filters on all door and window glazing systems. A 4kW solar pack upgrade is also available which means the property can surpass the Part L regulations by a further 20%.

 

Other features included as standard

 

When buyers purchase The Outland as their Dorset holiday home, they’ll also benefit from wooden flooring throughout as standard, with carpets in the bedrooms. A choice of Farrow & Ball and Zophany paint colours will mean that owners can put their own individual spin on the design, while kitchen appliances, showers and fixtures for all en-suites are also included.

Optional extras

 

Holiday homeowners  can really make their mark on this property design with a choice of optional extras. This includes consultancy services from the designers of The Outland, Shack, for interior design and product sourcing, to fully complete the vision The Outland sets out to achieve.
