A contemporary Arts and Crafts-inspired family home shaped by rural context, craftsmanship, natural light and low-energy performance.
Orchard House is conceived as a modern country home that balances warmth and craftsmanship with contemporary patterns of living. Its pitched forms, deep reveals and tactile materials draw from rural architecture without resorting to pastiche.
Generous living spaces open toward a south-facing courtyard and frame views over the orchard and wider countryside. The plan is organised to support family life while maintaining a strong relationship with the landscape throughout the year.
The house is designed to AECB CarbonLite standards and guided by Passivhaus principles, combining high-performance fabric, airtightness, balanced ventilation and renewable technologies with a calm material palette.
