Wood House
A unique replacement dwelling set within its own private woodland in Wath.
The house extends along the length of the garden, reaching towards the woodland and strengthening its connection to the landscape. The building is arranged as two distinct volumes or ‘wings’, connected by a glazed link that draws light into the heart of the plan.

Woodland
Living and sleeping spaces are accommodated within the South wing, oriented to maximise daylight and views across the garden. The principal living spaces are located on the first floor, where generous ceiling heights and a continuous wall of south-facing glazing create light filled interiors with a strong relationship to the surrounding landscape. Bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor below, where lower ceiling heights provide a more intimate and private character.
The North wing contains the main stair and ancillary accommodation. Its smaller scale reduces the perceived mass of the house when viewed from neighbouring properties, helping the building sit comfortably within its setting.
