“Three bays reflect the internal organisation of the house. Each bay is angled and exploits the numerous vistas that surround the site in an effortless but enchanting ensemble, with windows that are well placed and proportioned to their outlook. The relaxed and calm way that all the spaces of the building relate to each is the secret to the house’s success.” Jury Report © Jefferson Smith
