Lakeside House, West Sussex
This stunning house of 5,000 ft2 is set in a
landscaped garden within the grounds of a racehorse
stud farm. The house is curved in plan to respond
to the topography of the site, with views on to the
surrounding paddocks and lake.
The structure of the chimney and main balconies
punctuate the massing of the building and the
ground floor is inset to help articulate the curve and
the use of different materials. The first floor is clad
in Kebony timber to reference the buildings natural
environment and the standing seam zinc roof helps
to emphasise the curved from of the roof. A series
of interlinked terraces extend into decks over the
lakeside, offering indoor–outdoor living spaces and
drawing the occupants’ eyes into the surrounding
landscape.
