A family house in brick, render and timber, with a planted roof.
A home for a family: a quiet front door on the street, an open kitchen and dining room that spill onto the garden, bedrooms above, and a planted roof terrace.
A brick base picks up the materials of the neighbouring houses. Above it, a rendered frame, vertical timber fins and tall black-framed windows give the house its own identity, and a long glazed wall ties the living space to the garden.
Familiar brick, durable timber and a calm, ordered front that sits comfortably beside its neighbours.
Sinai, Egypt · Residential
We started with the canyon, not the plot. Two long floors sit back into the rock under deep roof planes, and the lower level opens straight onto a still pool that reads as an extension of the water.
The house takes its character from the place, so it cannot date.
United Kingdom · Residential
Warm brick, timber and stone give the house a settled feel, and large panes of glass tie inside to garden. The plan is arranged around arrival first and the terrace second.
Natural materials that weather well and a calm, balanced front.
Amman, Jordan · Residential
The house follows the slope in terraces. Limestone walls and olive planting root it in the hillside, and gates and walls give privacy without turning its back on the view.
Local stone, planting and a low profile mean it will weather into the hill.
