Contemporary interpretation of medieval timber framing in the south of England
Designed by London based Adam Richards Architects, the Flinthouse in Wiltshire provides an entrance and kitchen to a subdivided wing of an 18th century manor house.
The new structure is anchored by a gabion garden wall filled with reclaimed flint. The cedar framed building is a modern version of a medieval cruck timber framing which provides an open roof volume within. Horizontal cedar slats float over large areas of glazing, modulating light and views as well as relating to traditional horizontal wood cladding.
