Langdale is a modern house for a family of four. Forming a subtle threshold between the town of Brampton and the landscape of Cumbria, it nestles into a steep site where it replaces a 1960s stable/workshop that had fallen into disrepair. It is generous without being ostentatious, practical but refined.

The house is comprised of three simple shed-like volumes, assembled with conviction and clad in primarily Scottish larch wood. Highly insulated construction has been prioritised, supplemented by renewable energy from solar panels.

There is a confident modesty about the architecture, which provides proper space for the stuff of life: storage, shoes, and coats, alongside a combination of spacious and snug family spaces with incredible views. The architects have successfully fulfilled the family鈥檚 brief for a house that balances simple practicality with an appreciation of its wild and beautiful setting.
