From the architect: This project was designed for a successful entrepreneur and his wife who are in their seventies. Both wanted a space to retreat to for weekends and short breaks. After much discussion it became clear that the essence of the experience should reflect many aspects of a classic camping trip; closeness to nature, removal of digital distractions and a quietness and simplicity that would allow reading, contemplation, conversation and relaxation. These aspects were to be abstracted into a house that also provided a year-round temperate environment, modern cooking and bathroom facilities as well as the opportunities for displaying art and sculpture.
