This proposed dwelling lies on a linear site, perpendicular to the road, and as such takes the more tradition form of a strong gable facing the road and into the south westerly prevailing wind. This siting takes precedent from venacular farmhouses, which adhered to the edges of field patterns to maximise available land for agricultural uses. In doing so, our proposal becomes more inconspicuous and integrated within the hedgerows of the surrounding landscape. Ground floor flat roofed 'porches' are pushed and pulled out from the linear plan, adding internal spaces and defining sheltered private external areas or field gardens for our chef client to cultivate homegrown produce.
