Located on a site engulfed in lush vegetation, the Orchard House is designed with contextual sensitivity, sitting delicately on a narrow part of the site, which was previously used as a vegetable garden. The simplistic, load-bearing structure assimilates the residence with the vegetation around it, retaining all the trees on site using a calculated programme and a precisely carved courtyard. A large, floor-to-ceiling asymmetric frame captures and enables light and breeze to permeate the sanctum of the Orchard house – physically and visually linking it towards the old house and existing pavilion located towards the north.
