Lake District National Park
“A great example of contemporary lakeland vernacular”
Lake District Planning Authority
Our design for a modern replacement dwelling in the Lake District National Park received full support from the Local Planning Authority.
Whilst undeniably a modern house, we wanted to ensure that this was a sensitive piece of contextual design, and one that reflected the vernacular form and materials of the Lake District, balanced with a modern approach to living.
The design sets the house into the hillside topography, elevating the living spaces with glorious views out over Ullswater and up to Helvellyn. The scheme makes the most of the landscape, framing the fells and maximising light within the interior and interconnected living spaces . A timber staircase connects all three levels of the house, along with a substantial Cumbrian slate chimney; bringing texture, warmth and high quality craftsmanship to a new lakeland home.
