- New build
A family house in pale pine, where the children's drawings get the best wall.
The brief
A new timber house for a family of five on a wet, windy hillside. The parents asked for warmth without clutter, and for rooms the children could actually use.
We worked with the architect from the first sketch, so the joinery, the window seats and the lighting were drawn into the walls rather than added later.
Materials and finish
Untreated pine, clay-pink walls and black steel details. The pine will darken slowly, and that is the plan.
Every room has one wall left bare for the family's own pictures. We framed the first few, then stepped back.
