A pale brick gabled house behind a dry-stone wall.
A family home for village life: a hidden entrance behind the stone wall, a tall hall, and a kitchen and dining room that open to a lawn and terrace.
A tall gabled block and a low wing in pale brick echo the scale of the village. A pierced brick panel, black-framed windows and a stone boundary wall tie the house to its setting.
Local-feeling brick and stone, simple roof forms and a boundary that already belongs to the place.
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.
