A replacement dwelling in the rural village of Medstead. Materials used reflect the natural resources that can be found locally including flint, timber cladding and render with a zinc roof. Located on high ground with stunning views to the south and west. This is a very low energy house, with most of the glass being arranged on these faces for solar gain. Paice Lane maximises the views from both the ground and first floors whilst large overhanging shades and balconies means overheating is avoided. Part of the house is subterranean, with a garage tucked under the sitting room terrace, which enjoys views to the setting sun.
