The Latin for 'Woodland Home'. I wanted to create a live/work house that encompassed key points of my clients hobbies and interests. As writers, having creative offices and a library was key but also being interested in sustainable gardening and rewilding, I wanted to include this in the view and landscape.

I decided to take this further and incorporate it into the building design, having some sloped grass roofs and different levels to make it feel like it's part of the landscape. Using timber as my new structure also adds to this natural element and 'woodland home'.

As an occasional wheelchair user, I needed to ensure that everything was easily accessible. This meant; slopes not being too steep, widening existing doorways, plenty of turning circles, a lift and the majority being on the ground floor.
