West Meadow

Award 澳门王中王 South East Award 2024.
Despite its unequivocally contemporary design, West Meadow blends seamlessly into its rural surroundings near the Kent village of St Margaret鈥檚 at Cliffe. Situated adjacent to the Grade II* listed manor house of Wallets Court within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), it is an immensely sustainable family home with a remarkable sensitivity to the local vernacular.
The site鈥檚 exposure to weather was a key generator of the design: a windowless flint wall takes the brunt of strong prevailing winds on one side, while the other main elevation looks out towards the garden and fields beyond. Here, rather than simply providing a large expanse of glazing, the architects have used it to frame the views. With an essentially linear plan separating the social hub from more intimate spaces, this is a strong concept, beautifully executed 鈥� an architectural gem that can be simply drawn with a few lines.
