Komorebi is an architecturally unique insulated concrete formwork (ICF) property, situated on the highly sought-after Potters Bank in Durham. This newly developed home draws inspiration from Japanese design principles, emphasising simplicity and harmony with the environment, while combining cutting-edge building techniques with practical living.  ICF construction offers an energy-efficient environment, featuring underfloor heating and high thermal mass properties that help to stabilise temperatures throughout the year. The thick, insulated walls not only provide exceptional soundproofing, reducing noise from the surrounding urban setting, but also contribute to the home’s remarkable structural integrity. Reinforced with concrete and steel, this durable construction ensures long-lasting quality and resilience, giving homeowners peace of mind that their investment is built to stand the test of time.  Capitalising on its sloped site, Komorebi’s design includes a lower ground floor, where an expansive open-plan kitchen and living area is equipped with high-specification appliances and sleek cabinetry. Large bifold doors open onto a landscaped private terrace.   The upper ground floor lounge features expansive windows, flooding the space with natural light and providing views over the surrounding greenery. A utility room, WC and three additional versatile rooms complete this level.   On the first floor, the principal suite offers a serene retreat with expansive windows and a room divider, ensuring ample privacy. This is accompanied by a remarkably spacious, modern en-suite bathroom featuring contemporary fixtures including two sinks, a walk-in rainfall shower and bath. Additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, designed with modern simplicity. Two of the four additional bedrooms feature modern en-suites and the remaining two are serviced by a family bathroom.   Externally 
Externally, the rear garden is bordered by mature trees and hedging for privacy and seclusion. A well-maintained lawn and paved terrace, accessible from the open-plan living area, create an ideal setting for alfresco dining and relaxation. The property also features an external double garage.   Agents Note
