HUF HAUS

This was a particularly challenging project, combining a difficult, steeply sloping site on clay and rock with a modern Huf house imported from Germany. The post and beam architecture combined with full glazing provides a visual gateway to nature and the landscape is the backdrop to every room.

A beautiful garden has been created in harmony with the style of the house and is attractive from every angle. The garden is minimalist and modern to reflect the architecture, but also features a wildflower meadow and flows naturally from formal to wilder areas.

A large terrace is the focal point for social activities and links the house to the garden. Cantilevered polished concrete steps lead down to large lawns, and textured hedges with swathes of block planting provide nooks and crannies for the children to explore. Much of the grounds have been transformed into a wildflower meadow with winding mown paths leading to mature trees, an orchard and a vegetable garden.
