This project responds very clearly to the brief of clients moving between the city and a rural lifestyle in the south. The cluster of buildings is both texturally rich and very appropriate to the rural site. Although small in footprint, the generosity of the carefully controlled volumes provides flexibility in the ways the home can be occupied. There is a clever connection between public and private spaces, with the main bedroom opening directly - yet discreetly - off the living space. This is a beautifully appointed home.
