B
lack House is a private new build house in Kent,
completed in the summer of 2017 by Winchester-
based architects AR Design Studio. A contemporary
property, Black House draws its influences from both the
historic and modern buildings of Kent. A retired engineer and
Conran interior designer, the clients, chose to move from a 15th
century Tudor house and build a contemporary dream home in
their garden.
The buildings concept was formed after the design team and
clients embarked on an architectural tour in Kent, in search
of inspiration from the land and local context. The floating
form and massing of Black House was inspired by Sissinghurst
Castle Garden, home of writer Vita Sackville-West.
