Plains Road

A Secluded Modern Retreat

Tucked away on a quiet plot, this new family home turned a complex set of site constraints into a beautiful opportunity. With neighbours in close proximity, a nearby public house, and an undeveloped site to one side, the orientation and form of the building required a high degree of precision and careful design. We focused on creating a private sanctuary that feels both open and protected. The result is a stunning, light-filled residence that our clients are proud to call home.

Designed for Lifestyle

The architecture is defined by its sense of volume and flow. Upon entry, you are greeted by a dramatic, vaulted entrance hall featuring a signature floating staircase. This sense of space continues throughout the home, with airy, double-height rooms and an expansive, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area that serves as the heart of the house.

Luxury and Connectivity

The house is meticulously equipped for modern life, featuring a private cinema room, a dedicated home office, and a gym. Four generous bedrooms—each with its own en-suite—provide tranquil personal spaces, while practical additions like a large utility and pantry, alongside an integral double garage, ensure the home functions as beautifully as it looks.

A Seamless Connection to the Outdoors

We placed a strong emphasis on blurring the lines between inside and out. Large areas of glazing flood the home with natural daylight and offer framed views of the garden. By incorporating canopied external spaces, we’ve created sheltered areas that allow the family to enjoy the outdoors in any weather.

The building’s aesthetic is a refined blend of materials—warm timber, natural slate, and elegant brickwork—all unified by clean lines and modern glass, creating a home that feels both contemporary and timeless.
