The design concept can be characterised as an approach to the hierarchy of traditional and contemporary building forms, as well utilising a proposed building form to act as a binding agent to the currently disparate external spaces. The materiality and tone is intended to act as a foil to the warm tones of the primary
dwelling. A weathered and muted sculptural form embracing the dynamic landscape in which it inhabits.

The 19th C house is finished in a buff coloured local Sherbourne stone to a well proportioned Georgian order. A juxtaposition is therefore formed between this primary element and its ancillary family member. The minimal contemporary detailing free of ornament, the tone and agricultural form of the proposed
form intended to reinforce this concept.
