New-build development in Bryn Hyfryd, Llanrwst, for Adra in partnership with Cyngor Conwy and the Welsh Government is now complete.

The scheme constructed by Williams Homes Bala comprises 5No 2 bed, 5No 3 bed and 4No 4 bed properties. The homes are in keeping with the semi-rural character of the surroundings of the site, being on the edge of the town, and a sense of openness with public space and permeability is created across the site.

The scheme has positive frontages and elevational treatments designed to be sympathetic to the typical local residential properties in the nearby town, as well as the adjacent existing farmhouse. The character and materiality are maintained by traditional pitched roof forms and domestically scaled fenestration while creating interest and variation. There are open aspects looking over the internal road and the amenity space.

The highly sustainable scheme enables ‘low carbon living’, with combustion-free homes that embrace cutting-edge energy and drainage technology. The homes are built using Modern Methods of Construction using panelised timber frame construction, designed with a fabric first approach to meet WG Part L 2025 targets and achieved EPC A rating. Solar photovoltaic panels generate zero carbon energy, and there is zero onsite combustion as the homes have all electric systems, with a clear path to achieve net zero carbon in the future.
