A new family home formed around a central glazed courtyard bringing light to the heart of the house and merging inside and outside. The plan of this 175sqm new build is staggered to reflect the geometries of the site, it optimises solar orientation and provides long views of the gardens. Particular care was taken to achieve tall ceiling heights, 3 metres at ground floor and up to 5 metres on the first floor. An economic, all timber construction clad with charred timber and built to the highest ecological standards.
