New house, Norfolk 2008-9
The project is conceived as an agglomeration of houses from the scale of an aedicule to that of the landscape. The house is entered through two small brick pavilions built within the ruins of a 19thcentury stable block. Precast concrete aedicules at each door evoke the memories of household Gods and mark the beginning of a sequence of houses that grow in scale as one moves through the interior. The largest space, the living room offers wide views back across the garden, past an open hearth, to the newly planted apple orchard and nut grove. The plan of the house has been echoed in the landscape to create rooms of wild grasses, flowers and trees each offering different degrees of remove from the house, to be enjoyed at different times of the day and year.
The house was completed in January 2010.
