Harry’s personal project and the home of our country studio. Twelve acres of Welsh hillside around a 200-year-old barn and a timber studio, off-grid, with water running through the site and a stunning valley view from almost every part of it. The land had been grazed by sheep for years and was otherwise untouched.

The brief is to create a landscape to live in rather than look at: nature trails, forest bathing paths and stream walks, a growing hub, and places to gather. The design listens to the land and does not impose on it, creating instead a layered environment for gathering at every scale, from intimate family occasions to large community workshops and studio events.

Water is everywhere: a flooded courtyard used as a reflective pool, a natural swimming pool, a large wildlife lake, meandering streams and a waterfall. The food forest provides foraging through hundreds of varieties of fruit and nut. Currently under construction.
