New Build
An inspirational, sustainable design
The design narrative draws upon simple forms that relate to the historic former railway and further guest accommodation is provided in the form of three “carriages” nestled within the trees, each providing essential accommodation for extended family to use.
Inspiration
The building draws upon the simple forms and architecture of the historic former ‘Cuckoo’ railway line that once ran through the site.
Building Lake House
Construction at Lake House, the curves of the building do a wonderful job of softening the building lines and elegantly reference the railway narrative conceptual thread.

Materials
The material palette for the new dwelling draws upon the strong heritage of brick and clay, linking to the woodland character that borders the site. In both cases these materials are expressed in a unique and contemporary way.
