This bespoke family home replaces a long-abandoned Georgian house, nestled within the stunning Vale of Glamorgan. The design is a refined interpretation of the local vernacular, deeply rooted in the agricultural heritage of the area. The ground floor is crafted from locally sourced stone, echoing the traditional stone boundaries that define the surrounding farmland.

Above, the first floor presents an angular form, deliberately designed to resemble an agricultural barn when viewed from a distance. Its metal roofing and cladding pay homage to the structures scattered across the countryside. Both levels are further unified by the use of charred timber cladding, a nod to historic agricultural buildings while lending a contemporary edge to the facade.

In striking contrast to the agricultural-inspired exterior, the interior is light, airy, and decidedly contemporary. The open, flowing spaces provide an ideal backdrop for the owners’ extensive collection of art and sculpture, allowing each piece to be showcased. Despite having gallery-like spaces, the home remains warm and inviting, designed to accommodate everyday family life with practical and comfortable living areas.
