C3 Dwelling HousesA beautifully simple scheme which provides facilities and a meeting place for artists in the region. The building sits appropriately in its context , and has a "light footprint", incorporating structural insulated panels, geothermal heating and recycled timber piles. Accommodation is straightforward and direct, and whilst sheltered by beech and birch trees, the studio enjoys open views over the surrounding landscape. A very good example of contemporary architecture in the countryside.
