The Rock House
Client Aspirations
"Bespoke contemporary rural home that maximised natural light and views, whilst retaining the historic cottage. They wanted generous open-plan living, a strong connection between indoors and outdoors"
Challenges
"Steeply sloping site required considered approach with living areas placed above and bedrooms tucked into landscape below. Planning constraints added complexity in carefully weaving the old cottage into the new design"
Design Response
"Home shaped around the land, stepping into the slope and capturing light. Upper ground level arranged around open living hub with kitchen, dining and lounge. Below, four bedrooms including master suite nestle into landscape. Materials include natural stone, timber and zinc designed to age gracefully with integral outdoor living spaces"
