Award

Britain's Best Home 2009

Taking two years to design, two years to work through planning and three years to complete the building works, this very contemporary Douglas fir frame went up in 10 days and according to homeowner Amanda Barrington was 'fabulous, perfect and with no alterations needed'.

Amanda lived on-site in a caravan for 18 months and really gained an understanding of the site, with the undulating design of the house was inspired by the shape of the hills it sits within.
