vff house ::

This proposed equestrian estate and residence located west of Edmonton is arranged to maximise views to a pastoral setting. The vff house is a rigorous and modern composition of glass and textured white surfaces contrasting with the surrounding countryside.

With abundant transparency and views to adjoining horse-training areas, the homeowners can experience equestrian life more intimately, providing different views of the horses' movements from the interior of the home.

The design evokes a comfortable and pleasant rural vernacular, while the concise form and details provide a very contemporary edge. Conceived as a series of gabled volumes, the largest of these contains the main living areas arranged in a north/south axis, while the private wing rotates 90 degrees to form a sheltered outdoor terrace.
