A timber-clad, barn-like house with a tall glazed gable.

Use

A family home in a village: a quiet entrance off a gravel court, a double-height living space, and a kitchen and dining room that open to the meadow.

How we designed it

A simple barn profile in weathered timber, with a tall glazed gable and a low stone wing, sits among the stone walls and roofs of its neighbours. The long glazed end fills the main room with light and a view of the trees.

Why it endures

Timber and dry-stone that weather and settle into the village.

Wadi Villa

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.

Country Residence

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.

Private Home

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.
