Abbot's Ridge

In Progress
Abbot's Ridge

A private family house set into a chalk ridge, drawn from the vernacular of long tiled roofs and rendered walls.

Abbot's Ridge is a single commission on a protected ridge in the Surrey Hills AONB. The plan folds around a walled garden, sheltering the interior from wind and offering long views to the south.

The palette is deliberately narrow: pale render, dark clay tile, blackened steel and untreated oak. The house is designed to be handed down.
