Country escape · The Ridge Retreat

Grounded in place.
Elevated by design.

A contemporary country residence that sits naturally within its landscape. Dark timber, expansive glazing and a generous gabled form create a home with presence and restraint.

The vision

A home with
purpose.

The brief

Build a rural home that honours its setting without compromising comfort. The brief called for panoramic views, intimate evenings by the fire and spaces that could accommodate friends and extended family.

Our approach

Site planning, access and weather protection were resolved early. The build followed a deliberate programme, with special attention to thermal performance, roof detailing and the alignment of large glazed openings.

The defining detail

Resolved with
precision.

The living room’s stone fireplace anchors the central gable. Hand-selected material and a precise installation create a quiet focal point that complements the landscape beyond.
