A zero-carbon country estate set in 83 acres near Maidstone, Kent. The clients requested a country home of outstanding quality, rooted in its context, where they, their three daughters and families could coexist as one; a house for four in one. The house responds strongly to the slope of the site which determines the layout and organisation in section and plan. It is modern & sculptural in design yet remains infused with a spirit of regional identity. Beyond the house an estate cottage and barn complete the settlement. 

Caring Wood has also been shortlisted for the RIBA House of the Year 2017.

This project was designed in collaboration with James Wright.
