Ty Hedfan House

Inspired by the traditional Welsh longhouse, the Ty Hedfan House blends a stunning design with local materials. The living room is cantilevered over the River Ysgir, giving the home its "hovering house" name, while a second wing is buried under a green roof and holds a guest room and study. Locally-sourced materials like slate, wood, and stone were used to build the home, which has four bedrooms, as well as two outdoor areas to take in the sounds of the river below and the sights of the nearby hills.
