2021 Architecture Awards: Commendation for Residential Architecture

Jury citation from the 2021 Architecture Awards:

A series of cropped views and compressed spaces open up to embrace the landscape with adaptable outdoor spaces.

This house invites both expansion in summer- through large operable openings - or retreating in winter - to cosy window seats nestled amongst stone walls. The simple form is skillfully broken-down into three volumes to sit more comfortably on the large sloping site. Local timber and stone has been used with consummate skill and is coupled with micro details that delight the senses - the front door handle and peep holes were highlights.
