Hertfordshire House
Based on a narrative of water ripples emanating from the lake, this house manifests as a series of curving volumes. Organized as a set of bright airy interlocking spaces that will give the family a warm and joyful home.

The building is not only generated by the opportunities this spectacular site offers it is also firmly rooted in this landscape. The approach and entry to the building are carefully orchestrated to create the sense of drama as the views are revealed. Moving from the external living space through a series of stepped terraces to the water’s edge.
