Year: 2017

Garden Designer: Rupert Golby

From the architect: Nevill Holt includes a series of historic walled gardens, linked together by small pathways and openings . Gluckman Smith has designed a new house, currently under construction.
Winner of three 2018 RIBA East Midlands Awards: Regional Award, Conservation Award and the Project Architect Award which went to Diana Dina. Our award entry can be found here on the RIBA Website.
Replacing a tired 1960s bungalow, the house takes on a symmetrical form standing clear of the historic garden walls with the composed presence of a pavilion. The material pallette draws on local sources and inspiration from the main hall with a series of hand-crafted bronze roofs set on ironstone facades. The house opens onto a south facing terrace, wrapped by two ponds and framed by wysteria-clad pergolas.
The internal layout balances a refined and intimate living space with a setting for entertainment. Private wings flank an open plan pavilion room, centred around a fireplace which opens out directly onto the terrace. Slender-framed sliding glazed screens blur the boundary between inside and out.
