This new five bedroom house in rural Uttlesford was consented just before Christmas. In design terms, it seeks to reinterpret the defining forms, materials and details of the best, local houses.

To the street, it has a linear form with small, randomly placed openings and a jettied first floor. To the rear, it opens up to the landscape, with dramatic glazing and contemporary dormer windows.

Its multi-level plan responds to site topography and creates spatial interest.

Feature brickwork to the street elevation reimagines the local tradition of geometric, lime pargeting.
We look forward to collaborating with the project team to deliver this low energy ‘forever home’ for our clients.
