Proudly positioned at the base of The Remarkables mountains, this Lakes District design mimics the landscape’s high ridges and sharp angles. 

Conceived as a fairly simple but dramatic building shape, the five-bedroom, three-bathroom home is split into two wings. The two-storey south wing houses the garage and sleeping domains. The single-storey north wing embraces the living spaces. 

Standout interior features include 5m-high ceilings in the open-plan area. An off-centre gable gives this space a unique outlook, peeking at the peaks. A stone feature wall adds down-to-earth charm behind the log burner. 

Timber clad in natural weathering vertical larch, the exterior will respond to the climate, allowing the home to settle further into the landscape. Local schist borders the house, providing material and structural solidity. 

The home is designed as a functional, modern living space that exists in harmony with its beautiful setting. 

Viewing corridors mean glimpses of the gorgeous landscape can be admired from almost every room in the house.
