The phrase ‘discreetly large’ may seem contradictory, yet through thoughtful design, it becomes entirely achievable. A series of turfed, flat-roofed volumes clad in textured natural timber creates a sculptural composition that is both expansive and understated. Timber detailing, both flat and on edge, adds depth and shadow, lending quiet sophistication to the facades while seamlessly wrapping from front to back, unifying the new and the old.

This architectural solution does not announce itself with grandeur but instead settles into its surroundings with quiet confidence. It is a model home for a multigenerational family, designed with adaptability at its core allowing the space to expand and contract depending on the season and its occupants.

Positioned with intent, the new addition embraces the rear garden, creating a more intimate courtyard-like space for everyday use. This careful spatial arrangement balances enclosure and openness offering both sanctuary and a continuous visual link to the wider landscape beyond.
