House in Suffolk – 13 Dec 2011

New Forest House – 19 May 2011
The architects have overcome the reticence of planners, who insisted on this New Forest house being invisible from the public realm, in a thoroughly elegant way. Its concept is beautifully simple: a single long, linear shape with a central living space which is open to both ends.
