1/7 Exterior

2/7 Hallway

White walls add to the sense of space and light in the house. The floor is concrete, but underfloor heating takes the chill off. A pair of antlers on the wall creates a gallery feel.

3/7 Bookshelf/bedroom

A striking book gallery, which rises through the centre of the house, framing the stairs, is the first thing you see when you walk through the front door - wall-to-ceiling books lining the four-storey atrium. The shelves were built from MDF and lacquered white to give a reflective shimmer. Some sections are also covered in glass.
