On arrival very little is revealed other than the horizontal layering of materials – flint, timber panel and an occasional panel of brass. Particular attention has been given to the overall layout and roofscape to avoid disrupting neighbouring views and sedum roofs add to the overall calmness and subtlety. The house has a simplicity in plan, elevation and detail which belies an intriguing complexity in both internal and external spaces.
