The new green oak barn room allows far reaching views down the creek, across the valley as well as to the new swimming pool, hot tub and terraces.To complement the extensions and alterations to the house, a complete scheme of external landscaping has also been undertaken.  This has included a new driveway with entrance gates, extensive retaining walls, steps, planters, swimming pool and hot tub, pool side terracing and the regrading of the garden to bring it back to the simple natural flow of the land which had been lost due to previous interventions on the site.

A natural pallet of high-quality materials has been incorporated to blend the design into its surroundings. Stone cobbles, walls, terracing and steps keep the external finishes robust yet calm. Internally the primary green oak frame set against the existing stone wall and plastered walls has been designed to give a contemporary yet ageless feeling to the house.
