- new single country house on 12 hectares of farmland next to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
- subject to the stringent Planning Policy Guidance Note PPG 7
- similar projects had previously failed PPG 7
- successful public inquiry resulted in planning approval
- thorough analysis and close collaboration with the architect Adrian James
- retains long panoramic views of the Cotswolds from house but visibility towards the house restricted to distant viewpoints
- CABE commented “it has the makings of a striking and original piece of architecture of high quality, set within an equally well-considered and coherent landscape proposal”
