Sitting within the Nottinghamshire greenbelt, the site comes with its own set of planning challenges. But we saw an opportunity to go beyond policy restrictions by presenting a design that was ambitious yet contextually grounded.

The design channels the clean, functional structure of agricultural buildings — restrained in form but confident in presence. Narrow vertical timber cladding, standing seam zinc roofing, and open joint detailing keep the aesthetic sharp but rooted. Rather than mimic rural vernacular, the house feels naturally at home in its setting.

Internally, the plan opens up: a central, open-plan kitchen with a butler’s pantry, library, gym, two home offices, games room, and ample storage. Each bedroom is spacious, with its own en-suite or dressing area. A detached triple garage completes the arrangement.
