Leaf House, Cotswolds

We began with the venation of the building’s elevations and extended the same logic outward. Pathways, water channels and planting beds echo the radiating lines, so the ground and the building read as one idea.

A new-build eco house with solar power and self-sufficient water, the garden holds a natural pool, a sauna, vegetable gardens and outdoor dining at every turn. Beyond them, the wild edges of the site: a former quarry, and the source of much of the stone the garden is built from.
