STUNNING MODERN NEW-BUILD
IN HAMPSHIRE COMPLETED
WITH KEBONY WOOD
Sustainable family home created with bold vision of artist homeowner.
Blessed with the surrounding natural beauty of two National
Parks, a sensitively and sustainably designed new family
home, located in the heart of Hampshire, has now been
completed. The collaboration between the homeowner
- famous illustrator/artist, Jennie Maizels, and the awardwinning
Snug Architects, combines bold interior design with
an elegant facade built with Kebony, a global leader in the
production of sustainable modified wood.
Characterised by a contextual modern design, Kebony
was chosen to clad the property, carefully blending with
the home’s verdant countryside surrounding to create a
beautiful family home befitting of its unique location.
Snug Architects chose to design two pitched roof structures
connected by a single-storey glass pavilion, making clear
reference to the vernacular rural forms seen in the wider
context. Wrapping around all the walls and over the pitched
roof, Kebony wood, which develops a unique silver-grey
patina over time, echoes the silver tones of the surrounding
birch trees and contributes to the stylish, clean exterior
design of the property.
Paul Bulkeley at Snug Architects commented: “The
project is sympathetic to its setting and sits harmoniously
in its context. Kebony’s hard-wearing and sustainable
characteristics made it the perfect choice for the cladding,
whilst its knotty appearance is an accurate reflection of the
mature trees in the context.”
For illustrator and artist Jennie Maizels, it was vital that the
interiors reflected her passion for bold design and creative
flair. The interior is bright and full of colour, injecting life and
energy into the new build. To realise her vision for her family
home, Jennie worked with pioneering companies who have
dared to be different, introducing splashes of colour to their
products, ranging from fabulous bright sinks from Villeroy &
Boch, to coral pink bathroom cabinets from Duravite.
