Inspired by the simplicity of a Scottish ‘bothy’ and its immediate relationship to the landscape, this new Passivhaus home is nestled within a long disused parkland.

A planted track wends its way through native trees as an informal interpretation of a traditional country house driveway. The story of the site unfolds as you drive, cycle or walk towards the house with the planting framing views to the smallholding fields, the house and the biodiversity garden and pond beyond. Arriving at the house, the views flow through the centre of the home inviting you to move through the home and out again onto the south facing decking and walkway towards the woodland and pond.
