The silhouette of the building is strong but simple. The linear plan is again, simple, honest and nestles unobtrusively into the site whilst maximising views, shelter and solar gain. Windows are placed strategically to capitalise on views and sunlight, the proportion of same echoing traditional openings. Quality materials are proposed through a solid conventional construction with a palette is reflective of the rural setting.
