Lavender Cottage. Grayshott, Hampshire. Contemporary, custom-designed home with clean and simple detailing.





INTRODUCTION
A contemporary, custom-designed home with clean and simple detailing, nestled seamlessly into the leafy suburb of Grayshott. This light and airy residence blends modern style with functionality, offering a perfect retreat for family living.
WHAT WAS THE BRIEF?
The clients envisioned transforming a site occupied by a dilapidated bungalow and an overgrown garden into a bright, open, and contemporary home. They wanted a strong connection between the living spaces and the garden while maintaining a modest street presence. Key requirements included an expansive living area with lots of natural light, space to display their art collection, and a design that would sit harmoniously within its natural surroundings.
OUR SOLUTION
We designed a home that achieves a perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication. The front of the house presents a modest and understated look, while the rear opens up dramatically with a striking 1.5-story glazed living space that seamlessly integrates with the garden. The deep roof overhang provides shading to prevent overheating, allowing the space to be enjoyed throughout the year. The material palette is kept light and minimal, enhancing the home’s contemporary aesthetic and blending beautifully with the leafy surroundings.
