Set within the rolling Oxfordshire hills, our clients’ brief was to design a gallery garage with separate guest accommodation and work space above, integrated into a walled garden with outdoor kitchen. Working together from initial concept, the HollandGreen Architecture and Landscape Design teams have created a holistically considered landscape and striking building which sits comfortably within the country estate property.
We designed a simple, yet elegant, pavilion-style home with light-filled interiors that enjoy panoramic views across the river Thames. The interior palette follows a contemporary and minimal aesthetic throughout, drawing the eye to the beautiful countryside surroundings.
Photographed in both summer and autumn, an elegant walled garden and outdoor kitchen integrates with a contemporary Car Gallery and Apartment building, nestled on an Oxfordshire estate. Using paddle stone to define the space, the design features layers of soft planting in the surrounding beds to provide colour, form and texture throughout the seasons. Pleached trees either side of the garden give a sense of structure and height, which frame a Victorian-style greenhouse to the rear.
As part of the project, our Architectural team designed a luxury car gallery and apartment building, linked by a set of floating Corten steps. The structure is inspired by the local vernacular of farm buildings to sit comfortably in the estate, with strong lines and glazing to nevertheless deliver a striking individuality.
