PROJECT: The Timber House
LOCATION: Knepp, West Sussex

Set in the West Sussex countryside, this home is designed to sit comfortably in its surroundings

Its simple shape and natural materials give it a calm, understated feel, combining modern design with the beauty of the landscape.

What was once a tired, run-down property has been completely transformed into a warm and welcoming home. The design takes inspiration from traditional architecture while keeping a clean, modern look.

The aim was to create a space that feels both timeless and current. The layout is open and easy to move through, but still keeps separate areas for privacy and quiet moments, striking a balance between openness and comfort.

Careful thought has gone into every detail

The kitchen is handcrafted and sits alongside durable stone flooring and marble worktops, while the timber cladding on the outside will naturally weather over time, helping the house blend in even more with its surroundings.
Lighting throughout the home has been chosen to create a soft, relaxed atmosphere, adding warmth and character to each space.
