The house takes the form of a series of objects and volumes which emerge from the steep terrain. Moving between the various parts reveals different qualities of the spaces and the landscape.

A large volume to the rear is wrapped in tall reclaimed brick lattice-work, variously frayed and edited to allow a play of light to the interior.

At the beginning of the project many brick and terracotta pieces were salvaged from a discontinued local brickworks. Much of the stock were refractory clay pieces or ceramics used in metallurgy. These unique pieces were worked into the house as external walls, columns, tiling, and paving.
