The house is a contemporary two-storey dwelling with strong vernacular influences, combining the simple pitched-roof forms associated with traditional rural architecture with modern materials, large areas of glazing and an asymmetrical composition.
The building is composed of several interlocking gabled volumes, rather than a single rectangular block.
Two prominent two-storey gables establish the principal massing, while a lower single-storey wing and a projecting flat-roofed element break down the overall scale. The relatively steep, cleanly detailed pitched roofs are finished in dark slate or slate-like material, with minimal eaves and verges. This restrained treatment gives the traditional gabled forms a distinctly contemporary character.
The elevations use a deliberately limited palette of white/cream smooth render, natural rubble stone and dark metalwork. Stone is concentrated on selected architectural elements rather than covering the entire building. Most notably, the central single-storey projection is fully stone-clad, creating a substantial feature volume that visually anchors the composition. Similar stonework on the smaller entrance wing ties the different parts of the house together.
The fenestration is distinctly modern. Large, dark-framed picture windows are positioned within the gabled elevations, with little decorative trim, while the stone projection contains a particularly large floor-to-ceiling glazed opening. Window sizes and positions vary according to the internal spaces rather than following a rigid classical symmetry. Deep reveals, dark frames and projecting stone or metal sills provide crisp definition against the pale rendered walls.
Overall, the design is contemporary vernacular architecture: it abstracts familiar forms—pitched roofs, simple gables, rendered walls, local-looking stone and slate—and combines them with large-format glazing, simplified detailing, asymmetrical massing and strong indoor–outdoor connections.
