THEYDON GARNON

Developed as a replacement dwelling in the countryside, this low-lying dwelling is embedded into its setting within the Metropolitan Green Belt. The routes across the site trace historic references to past historic natural footpaths within the area.

The building footprint, formed of connecting clusters of mass, reflects the pockets of buildings that had historically existed in the nearby surroundings.

A pared back, minimalist frontage, void of ornamentation and fenestration, provides privacy to the domestic life that takes place inside. The dwelling opens up at the rear towards the open countryside beyond.
