Middle Avenue, Farnham by Rural Office
Replacing an inter-war bungalow in a Conservation Area, this contemporary home succeeds in perfectly connecting with the vernacular of its Surrey village setting. Meticulous research is evident in details such as the steeply pitched roof and white gables, the asymmetric design reflecting the aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Covered in handmade red clay Keymer tiles, the building forms a natural sequence with the others in the conservation area. The rigour of the architectural detailing and craftsmanship are evident throughout.
"This house is a little bit like a conker. It's got this hard shell on the outside, and then internally, it's much softer, much paler; contoured to reflect the roof upstairs and in the main hall." -- Niall Maxwell, Principal Architect, Rural Office.
"There's something about having built your own home, knowing no matter what the weather looks like, I'm still going to think it's amazing." -- Claire, homeowner.
