The clients wanted a house for their retirement, but with a keen interest in design and a love of abstract and modern art, it needed to eschew the usual trappings of staid, retirement home design. The site is heavily wooded and sloping, enjoying a beautiful southerly aspect with a view over the Durlston Country Park. At the same time, the design reduces the visual impact from across the valley when looking back towards the house, and helped the scheme from a planning point of view. The sloping site - with protected mature trees - very much dictated the positioning of the dwelling. Access is via the front of the property to the South, so we made use of a retaining wall faced in local Purbeck stone, to define different levels and visually mask the vehicular route, maintaining a clear view from the living spaces across the valley. The house cantilevers over the retaining wall to deal with the level changes and views, and creates a sheltered undercroft parking area.

Text description provided by the architects. The design for the house, which is used by the family mainly as holiday home, was constrained by planning issues that to some extent dictated the built footprint and its position on the site. Very tight size restrictions forced the design to push windows to the outside of the envelope, not allowing any overhangs which would be included in an area calculation, therefore reducing the actual built area. However, within the allowable area there was provision for the inclusion of a conservatory, and one challenge was how to successfully integrate this with architecture devoid of the normal connotations of a lean-to structure. The very simple building is also driven by economics of construction. The superstructure consists of a timber frame that was erected onsite. Spans as well as the width of the house are decided by the performance restrictions of standard timber truss components. The house sits on a platform that creates a terrace to the south and the east. This platform connects with a masonry chimneybreast that provides an internal fireplace and a concrete hearth with integrated seating.
