The site lies within the garden of a substantial house located on the edge of Bourne End in Buckinghamshire, directly fronting an area of open fields that form part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding National Beauty. The elevated primary volume contains an open plan living space with lounge, dining room, kitchen, covered outdoor room and master bedroom suite. This elongated volume is aligned north-south, parallel to the road and maximising views of the AONB to the east. The lightweight timber-clad living volume rests on and spans between two massive masonry-clad elements set at 90 degrees to the volume above. A freestanding masonry wall extending towards the road supports the north end while a grass roofed volume housing guest suite and bedrooms supports the north end. This element is set partially into the ground so that the house offers a low profile when viewed from the AONB and projects westwards with large recessed glazing looking south onto the garden.
