The geometry of the façade is clad with fibre cement
and provides the dining area with more privacy.
The hidden subterranean mass below avoids a
visual bulk which could otherwise swamp the
existing house’s proportions, and includes a
bedroom, plant room and garage space for 2 cars.
Internally, the finishes have been kept minimal with
cool grey tones, similar to that of the fibre cement
cladding. Warm touches are constantly visible
through the furnishings and timber cladding.
East facing bedrooms catch the morning light and
have extensive views over the surrounding South
Downs, whilst strategically placed skylights have
been used throughout the project to introduce
natural light into spaces deeper in the plan.
The scheme now stands as a single architectural
form that stretches out across the garden setting.
Looking at the wider context, the strong geometry
sits amongst a structured landscape, which
gradually dissolves into the farm land beyond.
