Terracotta House



The building presents itself as an earthy, carved form placed on a brick plinth from the arboricultural park. However from the busy residential street the building remains hidden from passers-by with an understated timber gate set within a large sandstone wall.
As the gates open from the street, the long narrow driveway frames the architecture and as you move deeper into the site, the sound of the street is replaced with the sound of trees and breedon gravel driveway.The gabled front elevation reveals a cut away to its corner; a rationale that responds to maximise volumes whilst adapting to building line covenants across the site.
