Epic Vast

 

When building on a plot with epic vast views, you need a house that will not only sit in those views quietly, but also make sense of them from within.

 

The scale of this house is perfect, as are the materials. It's no wall flower though, it clearly makes its mark on the landscape but in a very sympathetic way.

 

The windows are a great feature. All of a magnificent scale, but I like the way the windows in the living room are apertures, they give the feeling of enclosure and protectiveness - like looking out on the view from a protected bunker. But in the kitchen/dining space they almost disappear and give that feeling of openness that suits that use of space so much better. Clever house.
