A New Country House in Hampshire

Sometimes the success of the new hinges on the past. We incorporate character into our new buildings by using materials specific to the local area, this allows them to sit more comfortably within their surroundings. In this case we used Chilmark stone from Lovell Stone Group, Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC bricks and local flint.

This new country house in Hampshire was designed to appear as though it had evolved over time. The rear section was designed and details as a vernacular farmhouse, with the front section having a more formal Classical character, reflecting the evolution of many historic farmhouses, where their owners became more affluent and wished to enhance and gentrify their homes.
