Set within a gently sloping site overlooking a small rural English village, Cotswolds House is a new low-energy home. The house comprises two intersecting pitched volumes that form an L-shape plan, clad in local Cotswold stone and larch, topped with zinc and slate roofing. The two volumes, ‘the barn’ and ‘the wing’, meet at 100 degrees, designed to capture the perfect view and sit comfortably within the triangular site. The taller building has a street presence whilst the low lying wing is set down into the hillside, concealing sunken semi-basement bedrooms.
