court house
Our clients approached us to design a contemporary, thermally efficient, future-proofed home for them on a site near Salisbury.
The house is formed as two linked buildings forming an L-shape around a south-facing courtyard garden.
A single-storey linear ‘barn’ addresses the lane, and provides privacy to the courtyard garden and main two-storey ‘farmhouse’ house beyond. Simple, pitched roof forms are proposed, which echo the traditional forms of surrounding domestic and agricultural buildings, but are highly contemporary in their design and provide generous vaulted spaces internally. A contemporary zinc canopy at ground floor level provides solar shading and shelter to the south elevation.
