Brailles, Cotswolds

We were asked to design a new build house in the country for a family.

We explored two possible designs and agreed to take a modern stance with a simple ‘L’ shaped plan which would emerge from the slope of the hill with the living and bedroom spaces then floating above the grass.

We deliberately kept the building low and let the natural environment dominate.

The building orientates itself to the open countryside beyond and presents a very modest and private frontage to the lane it is accessed from.
