Shards, Cuckfield*
Shards is a Para 84 exceptional quality new dwelling in Cuckfield, Mid Sussex. Morgan Carn Architects obtained planning permission in 2015, with subsequent revisions to improve the lower ground floor living space and resolve buildability challenges in the original scheme.
The structural approach centres on Nudura insulated concrete formwork — a system that delivers a thermally isolated concrete core with exceptional airtightness. Combined with internal brickwork, the construction achieves outstanding levels of thermal mass, moderating internal temperatures naturally across both summer and winter conditions.
Jake White contributed to the technical design package at Stage 4, working through multiple design amendments to resolve buildability challenges in what was an inherently complex and speculative scheme. The process required revisiting Stage 3 design decisions to arrive at a construction package that could actually be built.
