This inspirational design springs from a planning policy requirement that new rural houses must reflect typical local buildings.
As it is situated in open country, we modelled the house around building shapes found in the landscape, including agricultural grain silos. Seen from a distance, they appear as a group of farm buildings. But closer to, the use of glass, zinc and stainless steel creates an exciting contemporary home, borne of its setting.
