This contemporary family home reinterprets the traditional rural farmhouse through a refined and modern architectural language. Conceived as a simple, robust form, the building employs a restrained palette of natural stone, vertical timber cladding and standing seam metal roofing, creating an architecture that is both timeless and firmly rooted in its countryside setting.
At the heart of the home, a double-height entrance hall and open-plan living spaces maximise natural light, create a strong sense of volume and provide seamless connections to the garden. A warm palette of oak, natural stone and exposed timber, combined with bespoke joinery and a sculptural oak staircase, brings craftsmanship, character and timeless quality to the interiors.
The composition carefully balances contemporary design with sensitivity to the surrounding landscape. Large, strategically positioned windows frame views across the countryside while maintaining privacy and managing solar gain, ensuring the house responds thoughtfully to its environment.
