HILL HOUSE
A new country house shaped by landscape and lifestyle
Set within the South Downs National Park, this new country house is designed to create a strong connection with its exceptional rural setting.
The house is carefully positioned to make the most of long southern views across the Downs, while a landscape-led approach integrates the building with its gardens, outbuildings and wider estate.
The house is organised around a series of distinct, characterful rooms rather than open-plan living, with a generous kitchen, formal dining room, drawing room and snug providing spaces for both everyday life and entertaining.
Dedicated workspaces and practical rooms including a boot room, utility and dog wash are balanced by a generous master suite, guest accommodation and a separate studio linked to the house.
The wider estate is conceived as a cohesive whole, with the existing cottage retained for guest and staff accommodation and new outbuildings integrated alongside the house.
Materials, scale and landscape work together to create a contemporary country house that responds to the character of the South Downs without resorting to pastiche, with a strong sense of place and a lasting connection to the landscape.
