Inside Oast

The material palette at Bumpers Oast shifts as you rise through the house. At ground level, polished concrete floors and plastered plywood walls create a cool, grounded backdrop for daily life, warmed underfoot by underfloor heating drawn from a ground source heat pump in the garden, paired with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery to keep air quality and temperature consistent throughout.

Each cone was designed to work harder than a single room, with a private ensuite below and a sleeping platform above, reached by its own curving staircase. The layout was planned to transform as the family grows, from a play space in early years into a private bedroom later on.
