London design studio Hugh Strange Architects has completed the Farmworker’s House located in England’s Cornwall. The home is made for a farm manager in a wooded corner of a much larger field just across from a livestock shed. The home has a courtyard layout that replicates the landscape of traditional farmsteads and the living spaces overlook a garden wrapped by a low-sitting wall.
The founder of the studio Hugh Strange shares the design process with Dezeen, “The design of the house suggests a form of rural development that respects and retains the existing character of the landscape while still making a characterful intervention. The house nestles into a wooded corner of the field, and with only a mile to the Atlantic coast, the building looks to protect from the elements by adopting an introverted courtyard house typology.”
