Designed to fit into the surrounding landscape with minimal impact, this house by DUA got planning permission on a site where it had previously been d
enied.
The design not only mimics other buildings found in the surrounding area, but makes every effort to sit unobtrusively in the landscape. “Positioned to follow the slope of the site and capitalise on a naturally flat portion on the site, the house is carefully embedded into the terrain, minimising excavation and preserving the site’s topographical character,” Darragh explains.
Oriented north south to provide light throughout the day, it was decided to locate the living spaces upstairs, not only to make the most of the natural light in the home, but to capitalise on the vaulted space the roof provides. The result is a bright, calm home with spectacular views of its surroundings.
