Polbathic Ironworks is a thoughtfully designed residential development comprising 19 one, two, and three-bedroom homes nestled in the picturesque Cornish landscape. As the inaugural project to utilise the innovative Red10 Construction System, this development sets a new standard for efficiency and sustainability in homebuilding. The homes are meticulously configured to harmonise with the site’s complex topography, ensuring that each property benefits from the natural beauty of its surroundings. With its combination of architectural ingenuity and sustainable construction, Polbathic Ironworks offers a contemporary living experience while respecting its historical and environmental context.
A Community-Centric and Sustainable Design
At the heart of Polbathic Ironworks is a commitment to community and environmental stewardship. The development features a dedicated children’s playground, creating a safe and welcoming space for families to thrive. Additionally, a smart Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDs) has been integrated into the site design, utilising a diverted stream to manage water runoff effectively while enhancing biodiversity. The project exemplifies the potential of the Red10 system to deliver high-quality homes that are not only functional and beautiful but also responsive to the challenges of modern living. Polbathic Ironworks stands as a testament to the power of innovative construction and thoughtful design in creating sustainable communities.
