Architecturally, the form draws inspiration from the region’s long portal-frame barns — structures defined by their low, gentle rooflines and quiet silhouettes above hedgerows. This proposal refines that familiar rural language into a contemporary, low-energy typology: a stretched roof sheltering open-boarded timber at the upper level, exposed columns, and a visually solid base. Timber cladding is used both functionally and expressively — filtering sunlight as a brise-soleil on the southern façade, and shaping sheltered thresholds on the north. Rooflights and double-height voids introduce pockets of light and spatial generosity, bringing delight to a simple rural form. Together, these elements create a building that is at once contextually grounded, beautifully crafted, and inherently attuned to its landscape.
