Field House is a private residence set within a rural, agricultural landscape on the northern edge of Icomb, a Cotswold village located two miles south-east of Stow-on-the-Wold in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. An example of a Paragraph 84 project (NPPF, December 2024), it’s a new, sensitively designed home of exceptional quality that will enhance its surroundings.
Marking our first collaboration with Loyn + Co Architects, our aim was to integrate the house with the landscape, bringing nature into and over the building. We worked closely with an ecologist, seeking to transform the existing site from a neglected and damaged landscape to a place of high ecological value. Our design introduced native meadows that seamlessly merge with the more ornamental garden spaces around the building, connecting with the native woodland at the entrance and creeping along the boundaries.
