House Lunn - Architecture in harmony with nature

House Lunn is a contemporary family home built for a client who wanted to move out of the city. The house is tucked away in a tranquil location on the edge of the South Downs. The east wing forms a ground floor family hub, and first floor master suite and family bathroom. The west wing is connected to its twin via the entrance hall and contains a living/multifunctional space on the ground floor and four identical first floor children’s bedrooms.

Being in a rural location, House Lunn has been designed as a barn. Comprising of two entities that give the impression of sliding past one another, making them appear distinct. There is inspiration from nature. The irregular timber cladding that echoes the pattern of trees, mimics the woodlands sitting at the site periphery.

The client opted for a completely toxin-free building, applying a healthy building concept that protects the family from potential stresses inside and out. There is calmness, shelter, and the invisible but noticeable lack of unwanted emissions from building materials and equipment.
