Nestled into a wooded hillside this 5 bedroom home sits in AONB on a greenbelt site. The design takes advantage of the sloping site. Glass encloses the dining, living and study over 3 interconnected levels. A projecting canopy floats above the house, allowing light to percolate into the living spaces without overheating. Views of the countryside make the interior feel open, light, and connected to nature. Elegantly detailed to create a sense of poise and refinement, the mix of traditional and modern materials add articulation and balance. A sculptural concrete stair creates a striking focal point to the lightweight steel.
