House with a Cloister

-

A new family home and studio, arranged around a walled courtyard garden. The house is carefully placed within a clearing, surrounded by native birch woods. The garden is defined and contained, while everything beyond the courtyard remains essentially untouched - healthy, biodiverse woodland.

Public rooms open into the courtyard, protected by a covered colonnade. Large openings to the opposite, east facing facade look directly out into native birch woods.
