A new start up business based in Nantwich is designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art spherical buildings like The Conker on Crewe Road in Wistaston.<\/p>\n
The Conker, built by Conker Living Limited, is designed to last using aerospace materials with minimum foundations and up to 200mm of insulation.<\/p>\n
It means that The Conker is soundproof, will maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the year in hot or cold climates – it can even be fitted with a pollen filter.<\/p>\n
The company is set to host its inaugual Open Day on December 13 at Gate Farm Rural Enterprises on Wettenhall Road in Poole, Nantwich.<\/p>\n
Managing director Jag Virdie said: “We have many options from a desk, a wet room en-suite, a kitchenette, a sofa bed,
\nstorage systems and many more including a drinks bar that rises from under the floor.<\/p>\n
“A truly 365 days a year building. The full sphere is 3.9m with a delivery lead time is approximately 12 to 16 weeks depending on your specification.<\/p>\n
“The Conker is designed and built in Cheshire.<\/p>\n
“The Conker was born through the knowledge that a building should be beautiful, aerodynamic, strong and versatile.<\/p>\n
“We envisaged a contemporary, state of the art, desirable environment which could be adapted and personalised without limitation.<\/p>\n
“A sphere was the natural choice due to its streamlined and structural properties.<\/p>\n
“We are now witnessing the growth of The Conker in various locations across the UK and are excited by its unchartered potential linking the rest of the world.”<\/p>\n
The Open Day event celebrates the company’s first two corporate customers buying Conkers.<\/p>\n
