Nestled within the tranquil woodland setting of Temple Ewell, Dover, House in the Woods is a meticulously designed private home that harmonises contemporary architecture with its natural surroundings. The playful design embraces the organic slope of the hill, contrasting the landscape with a bold cantilevered volume that hovers gracefully above the terrain, like a fallen tree, creating a striking pedestal-like form.

The architecture emphasises a thoughtful connection to nature, with expansive glazing framing the surrounding views. A ‘found space’ lower-level provides guest and ancillary accommodation, blending seamlessly into the ground to enhance the home’s connection to the site. Balancing functionality with serenity, the design offers the ideology of modern living while celebrating and respecting the beauty of its wooded environment.
