Birds Portchmouth Russum Architects, London, United Kingdom New home delights in its pastoral setting beside the ruin of the former house
Downley House is a new country house built in National Park in the South Downs, in Hampshire. The client's brief sought tranquil yet playful spaces, of natural textures, contrasts, and indigenous materials. Architectural Parti & Context: The new house responds sensitively to its pastoral setting beside the ruin of the former house. The principle architectural aspect establishes a promenade from the vehicular approach through to the landscape. The drive arrives at a circular stone forecourt from which an oak pergola leads through an inner court where the ruin is re-interpreted as a romantic garden folly.
